Limited data is available on which interventions are likely to improve compliance to hand hygiene, especially in underdeveloped countries. The objective of this study is to explore whether the introduction of a particular bundle of strategies to improve hand hygiene is effective.  Material and methods  In this pre-post study, a multimodal strategy comprised of educating healthcare staff, using reminders, providing feedback and increasing the availability of soap and alcohol, was implemented over a period of one year from 2019 to 2020. Trained observers assessed compliance to hand hygiene before and after the intervention.  Results  A total of 143 hand hygiene opportunities were observed. Hand hygiene compliance rate did not improve despite the introduction of multiple measures.  Conclusions  Other approaches should be considered to promote hand hygiene. The choice of which strategies to use should be adapted to the local setting. For instance, in some healthcare facilities, emphasis should be placed on leadership support and on the training of hand hygiene champions.
