A new study by the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) shows that majority of hand sanitisers in the market, expensive as they may be, are useless in killing germs. With these findings, the researchers are now calling for a market surveillance to check the efficacy of hand sanitisers. They are also calling for a policy to regulate hand sanitisers from production to marketing and usage. Ochwoto noted that before eating, many people, mostly women, use hand sanitisers and do not wash their hands thinking that their hands are clean.
