In the camp, Dental Surgeon Dr. Sadaf Siddiqui conducted oral examination of the children living in the community and told them the right way to maintain cleanliness of hands and mouth. Doctor Sadaf told the children that to avoid diseases, we should wash our hands with soap and water several times a day.
If soap is not available, hands should be kept clean by using hand sanitizer. Hand hygiene is very important to maintain good health. Even during the Corona period, people have come to know the importance of hand hygiene. Washing hands properly every day can be of great help in preventing diseases. World Hand Hygiene Day is celebrated every year on 5 May to make people aware about hand hygiene.
Washing hands is the best way to protect yourself and your family from getting sick. Washing hands can help you stay healthy and prevent the spread of respiratory and diarrhea infections. Germs can spread rapidly through dirty hands.
