One of the simplest ways to protect our health is also one of the most effective: washing our hands properly with soap and water. Observed on 15th October, Global Handwashing Day 2026, CORAS Hospital in Guwahati champions the message “Clean Hands. Safer Lives. Healthier Communities”, reminding everyone that small everyday habits make a meaningful difference.
From preventing seasonal flu, viral fevers, and gastrointestinal infections to protecting children, elders, and families, good hand hygiene breaks the chain of infection at its source. Building a safer community starts with three simple steps:
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water before meals, after using the washroom, and after touching shared surfaces.
- Follow proper handwashing techniques by scrubbing palms, backs of hands, between fingers, and under nails for at least 20 seconds.
- Make hand hygiene part of your everyday routine at home, school, and work
At CORAS Hospital, strict infection control anchors our clinical care—from our sanitised Outpatient Department (OPD) clinics and Internal Medicine department to our 5 modular operating theatres with Laminar Air Flow and Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD). Because better health begins with better habits, every clean hand contributes to a healthier community. Connect with CORAS Hospital—committed to better health, every day.
