In its recently updated guidelines on infection prevention and control, the National Health Commission reaffirms hand hygiene as central to hospital-acquired infection control and explicitly encourages touch-free washing and disinfection facilities in high-touch areas.

Studies show standardized hand washing can cut cross-infection risk in healthcare settings by over 30%. Deploying sensor soap dispensers, touch-free hand dryers, and sanitizer dispensers at entrances to clinics, wards, ICUs, and operating rooms improves compliance and reduces device surfaces as transmission vectors.

Godley reminds hospitals and eldercare institutions to prioritize sensing accuracy, controllable dosage, antibacterial materials, and after-sales coverage when selecting cleaning equipment—so facilities are "safe to buy and durable to use."
