Abstract
The WHO six-step 'how to hand rub' technique can be simplified to a 3-step procedure based on the reduction of bacterial counts on healthcare workers' hands achieved under experimental conditions. The proposed technique is easier to perform and could improve adherence to the execution of hand hygiene action.
