Comic carries hygiene message

Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) officials are hoping a new comic book will help raise awareness about hand hygiene and hospital-acquired infections, such as Clostridium difficile.

The Bug Stops Here! will be released Sept. 23 at a free public event at the hospital. The comic book is for staff and visitors and is produced by PRHC.

The nine-page book is about a young girl named Sammy who goes to the hospital to visit her sick grandmother.

Along the way she learns about C. difficile, hand washing and other ways to prevent catching infections.
