In approximately 60% of cases as measured in ten hospitals connected with the Collaborating Rijnmond Hospitals Foundation, there is an indication to follow procedures for hand-hygiene according to the Dutch report “Handen Uit de Mouwen” (Rolling Up the Sleeves), based on World Health Organization's My five moments for hand hygiene. Unfortunately, the prescribed hand-hygiene at the NICU’s in hospitals is regularly performed poorly or not at all. The 60% compliance is relatively high compared to other wards. However, poor compliance with hand hygiene is a worldwide problem, leading to many preventable deaths.
