soap could save one
millions lives per year

50. Hand washing a Tribute to Dr. Ignaz
Semmelweis :

51. Why Hand Washing :
• Why Hand Washing for hand hygiene is the act of
cleansing the hands with water or another liquid,
with the use of soap, for the purpose of removing
soil, dirt, and/or microorganisms
• Human feces are the main source of diarrheal
pathogens. They are also the source of
shigellosis, typhoid, cholera, all other common
endemic gastro-enteric infections, and some
respiratory infections: just one gram of human
feces can contain 10 million viruses and one
million bacteria.

52. Unicef on use of Soap :
• Unicef on use of Soap Unicef says using soap
to wash hands, particularly after contact with
excreta, can reduce diarrheal diseases by over
40% and respiratory infections by 30%.

53. Sir William Osler on Hand Washing :
• Sir William Osler on Hand Washing Soap,
Water and Common sense, are still the best
Antiseptics.

54. Soap saves lives :
• Soap saves lives The campaign was initiated to
reduce mortality rates related to diarrhea
diseases by introducing simple behavioural
changes, such as hand washing with soap,
which according to research can reduce the
rate by almost 50 per cent.

55. Why Hand Washing Reduces
Diarrheal Diseases
• Why Hand Washing Reduces Diarrheal
Diseases Diarrhoeal diseases kill more than
1.5 million children under five each year but
the simple act of hand washing can
reduce these diseases by >45%.

56. CDC on Hand Washing When you should
wash hands :
• CDC on Hand Washing When you should
wash hands According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if you
don't wash your hands frequently, you can
pick up germs from other sources and then
infect yourself. You're at risk every time you
touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.

59. By washing your hand – you are free
from Microbes
• By washing your hand – you are free from
Microbes By frequently washing your hands
the right way, you'll wash away germs — such
as bacteria and viruses — that you have picked
up from other people, through contaminated
water and food, from tainted surfaces, or from
animals and animal waste.

60. Hand washing a better option in prevention :
• Hand washing a better option in prevention The
two biggest killers of children in the developing
world today are diarrheal disease and respiratory
tract infections. The simple act of washing hands
with soap can cut diarrhea risk by almost half,
and respiratory tract infection by a third. This
makes hand washing a better option for disease
prevention than any single vaccine
