FVL winner of the award for excellence in hand hygiene in Latin America 2022

Fundación Valle del Lili (Valle del Lili Foundation) (FVL) is proud to receive the Award for Excellence in Hand Hygiene (HHEA) at the Latin American level awarded by Aesculap Academia, a global teaching and research institution that shares knowledge with the international health community, in addition, the award has the support of the World Health Organization as one of its major incentives.

This year, 50 hospitals from 7 countries in the region applied their hand hygiene strategies to obtain the recognition of innovation and excellence in this practice, of which Fundación Valle del Lili (Valle del Lili Foundation) was recognized for the excellence of its strategy.

The HHEA is an acknowledgement of the health community’s effort and progress in promoting a better quality of life and safety through protocols, campaigns and practices to prevent and combat infections through hand hygiene. It is granted since 2011, and in Colombia we are the 3rd Institution to receive it.

“It is an award for everyone, to teamwork, that as an organization we adopt the directive of the Committee of Infections by conviction. We are sure that we are prepared for larger projects because this recognition puts us at a high level since it is at the Latin American level and commits us to promote our model so that it can be replicated in other hospitals”, commented Dr. Marcela Granados, Assistant Director General of the Institution.

Our Infection Committee team received the award at the XVIII Brazilian Congress of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology in São Paulo Brazil and participated with the presentation of the Institution’s hand hygiene program. At Fundación Valle del Lili (Valle del Lili Foundation) we will continue to be committed to taking care of the health of our patients with clean and safe care.
