| dc.description.abstract | Proper hand hygiene (HH) is a mainstay of infection prevention, especially in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) where neonates are prone to healthcare-associated infections. An audit was conducted at the NICU of Teaching Hospital Badulla to assess HH compliance among healthcare workers (HCWs), followed by an intervention and re-audit to measure improvement. | |
