WHO-recommended Handrub Formulations – COVID-19

This Guide to Local Production of WHO-recommended Handrub Formulations is separated into two discrete but interrelated
sections:

  • Part A provides a practical guide for use at the pharmacy bench during the actual preparation of the formulation. Users may want to display the material on the wall of the production unit.
  • Part B summarizes some essential background technical information and is taken from WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care (2009). Within Part B the user has access to important safety and cost information and supplementary material relating to dispensers and distribution.
