Safe health practices like: hand wash before (73.4%)
and after patient contact (74.6%), wearing of gloves when
dealing with patient (78.4%), use of personal protective
equipment (59.5%), safe syringe disposal (67.9%) and proper
waste sorting (75.3%) have been studied in 6 hospitals
representing the different health sectors in Cairo. The aim of
this study was to determine the prevalence of the above
practices in different hospitals and to audit the practice of
hand washing and safe injection using a direct observation
list. Health care workers were asked to fill an anonymous self
administered questionnaire and direct observations for
auditing the practices were filled by the researcher. A
training session for proper hand washing was done using
hand wash tools.
