Celebrate Global Handwashing Day this 15th of October
[Advertorial]
Do you want to be an advocate of good health for your family? Now is your chance!! Today the kids and I will be celebrating Global Handwashing Day by Lifebuoy and taking our pledge as a family to keep ourselves healthy through handwashing.
This is the 5th year that this event has been celebrated and the focus is on ” Help More Chidren Reach Their 5th Birthday”. About 1.5 million children in developing countries have died from diarrhoeal diseases due to poor hygiene and lack of access to proper sanitation. These diseases can be prevented. (Quoting from HPB website)
Hand washing is one simple solution that children can learn to protect themselves against infectious diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hygiene interventions including hygiene education and promotion of hand washing can lead to a reduction of diarrhoeal cases by up to 45%. By getting children to wash their hands, which is usually the first line of defence against the spread of many diseases, the rate of infection is reduced significantly.
Here in Singapore we are lucky to have good sanitation so the more we should be prudent about keeping clean to prevent our kids from suffering from diarrhoea, acute respiratory diseases and HMFD.
