Announcements from SRC (4th May 09)

Dear All,

1. Thanks and Blog

First and most importantly I would like to thank all the batchreps who have been working so hard with the previous council and hope that it continues with our council, SRC 09/10.

I would like to inform you all of the SRC Blog, which has been put up and is now in full use so please do encourage all your batchmates to visit the site! It will be the best place to get to know what the SRC is working on and on finding out the happenings of IMU!

So please do promote http://imusrc.blogspot.com!

How the blog works is that main announcements will go on the main page, with specific announcements going on the the respective council members page.

Also, please inform your batchmates that if they are having trouble accessing the student lounge with their Student ID, please go to Administration on the 2nd floor.

3. Swine Flu and Hand Hygiene

Dear All,

On the 5th May 2009 WHO will announce SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands
Vision 2020. WHO will also launch the revised hand hygiene toolkit and
the revised WHO Guidelines for Hand Hygiene in Health Care.

The date 5th May links the ‘fives’ together of the 5th day of the
5th month with the WHO 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene. The aim, as outlined
on the website, is to be able to officially promote hand hygiene
globally on an annual basis every year on this day beginning in 2010.

The students of the M2/07 cohort will launch a hand wash campaign at
the IMU on 5th May. The IMU is One of the 5 institutes in Malaysia out
of 4471 institutes worldwide that has declared commitment and registered
for activities for this global programme.

A message from Prof Didier Pittet on the importance of hand hygiene in
preventing Influenza A (H1N1) could be accessed at
http://www.who.int/patientsafety/en/index.html

Regards
Dr. Ranjit

Note: I have attached the poster.
