Abstract:
There are no studies about cost-effectiveness of hand hygiene in the literature. Instead of doing studies about cost-effectiveness, investigations on how to convince doctors and nurses that hand hygiene is absolutely necessary, should be performed. Disinfection by physical methods is more cost-effective than disinfection by chemicals.
