Hand Hygiene is identified as the single most important intervention in reducing the transmission of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). In 2009, The World Health Organization published comprehensive evidence-based guidelines on Hand Hygiene in healthcare, which introduced a standardized approach to Hand Hygiene practice; “The Five Moments for hand Hygiene”. These guidelines have been adopted by the hospital and core to our education and training programme. The model was used to guide this research. The Kirkpatrick model was employed to evaluate the hand hygiene education and training, effectiveness of training at the different levels was being evaluated through construct on the basis of literature review. For level the respondents are who had completed training 7 months earlier.
