Abstrakt:	Our study aimed at assessing the determinants of hand hygiene and utilisation of bathing facilities in healthcare facilities (HCFs) in the greater Kampala metropolitan area, Uganda. Results indicate that 19.9% of the respondents wished to wash hands and failed while 39.3% faced challenges related to bathing. Failure to wash hands was associated with received information on hand washing (APR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.06–1.24), using piped water (APR = 0.88, 95%CI: 0.78–0.98) or a well as the main water source at the HCF (APR = 1.21,95% CI: 1.03–1.42). Experiencing challenges of bathing was associated with accessing healthcare services at a hospital (APR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.81–0.97) and using public HCF (APR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.01–1.120). There is urgent need to improve hand hygiene and bathing facilities though providing reliable water and soap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
