As part of our mission on behalf of the German Rotary Volunteer Doctors eV (GRVD eV) We supported four hospitals in Ghana in improving their hand hygiene infrastructure and conducted comprehensive training for medical staff. A particular focus was on practical training in correct hygienic hand disinfection. The use of the DesiCoach proved to be a particularly effective training tool.

The high acceptance of DesiCoach was particularly evident at Catholic Hospital Battor, where the practical demonstration was perceived as especially clear and motivating by the more than 200 workshop participants. In the other hospitals as well, the practical exercises significantly contributed to promoting an understanding of complete and effective hand disinfection.

The use of DesiCoach supported the communication of WHO hand hygiene recommendations and made a significant contribution to improving patient safety. Staff members were highly motivated to permanently integrate the learned techniques into their daily clinical practice.

The projects are carried out on behalf of German Rotary Volunteer Doctors eV (GRVD eV). The support of the association and its donors provides an important foundation for implementing this aid for self-help on the ground.

The exercise was very enjoyable for the participants and received a very positive overall response. The material was perceived as clear, practical, and varied; many participants asked me where they could obtain it – I hope you'll see some of that.

Practical applications with DesiCoach® 2Go have clearly shown that there is still a considerable need for improvement, particularly when wearing rings and when skin areas are not completely wetted.

The products impressed us in their application.

The individual packages could be opened without any problems, so no scissors or other tools were needed to open the packaging.

The instructions via mobile phone were also very user-friendly and easy to use.

It was very well received by both groups, and the feedback from the participants was consistently positive.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to use the DesiCoach2Go trainings at our school!

As part of an international IPC (Infection Prevention and Control) training course by Malteser International in Sudan, we were able to use DesiCoach® for practical hand hygiene training.

The deployment took place against a backdrop of increased infection risks due to ongoing humanitarian challenges. Thirty-five people from clinical and non-clinical fields participated in the training.

The content focused on infection prevention, transmission routes, personal protective equipment and hand hygiene.

DesiCoach® helped to make theoretical concepts about the transmission of pathogens practically comprehensible. Many participants were surprised at how easily contamination occurs and how often individual areas of the hands are not adequately reached during disinfection.

DesiCoach makes the invisible visible and provides a lasting reminder of what is often forgotten in everyday life. This practical approach is particularly valuable for international training because it intuitively enables a clear learning effect.

The training sessions are going great. The Heyfair system is consistently praised as very helpful, as it allows trainees to identify their typical wetting gaps from the outset and then optimize them.

In practice, it can also be seen that the students perform their hand disinfection much more properly.

Every year on Action Day, we have an area where people diligently practice hand hygiene using a UV lamp. This year we wanted to offer something special and chose DesiCoach.
The employees liked that several people could practice hand hygiene at the same time.
The two solutions allowed employees to train twice or check whether they were covering all areas.
What we noticed during application was that the white dye was hardly absorbed on very dry hands.
Despite the seriousness of the topic, the employees had a lot of fun and overall it's a great product.

We frequently use DesiCoach in our hygiene training courses. Participants are always surprised to discover which areas are not disinfected sufficiently.

Yesterday, May 5th, we were able to vividly demonstrate to our employees and visitors – even without a blacklight box – how well or poorly they disinfected their hands as part of the Clean Hands Day campaign. Even our mayor was impressed by the demonstration.

Especially the to-go products sold well.

And our rescue service manager was so impressed that he wants me to use the product in future lessons at our training center.

Start up production now!

Kind regards from Witzenhausen
