Developing countries. In developing countries, the impact of HAI is far greater, with the risk being two- to twenty-fold higher than those in the developed world, and prevalence studies report hospital-wide infection rates usually higher than 15%. In those countries, over 4000 children die of HAI every day, equating to a plane crashing every hour.
Hand hygiene compliance rates remain generally low despite the well-documented connection between improper hand hygiene and healthcare-associated infections — but there are many varied reasons ...

CDC at Work: Water-related Hygiene. Diarrhea and respiratory infections remain leading killers of young children in the developing world, and claim approximately 3.5 million young lives each year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been studying the role of handwashing in preventing these diseases in developing world settings.
This initiative, the Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Poverty Diagnostic, encompasses 18 countries, ranging from fragile and conflict-affected states to middle-income countries. Over the past three years, it has assessed the relationship of poverty, time, physical space and social space with drinking water, sanitation and hygiene ...
