Making a habit of washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet can save more lives than any vaccine or medical intervention, according to UNICEF, and reduce by almost half deaths from diarrhea and a quarter of deaths from acute respiratory infections.
Kulingana na UNICEF, kufanya uoshaji mikono kwa sabuni kabla ya kula na baada ya kutumia choo kuwa mazoea kunaweza kuokoa maisha zaidi kuliko chanjo yoyote au mkakati wa kimatibabu, kupunguza vifo kutokana na kuendesha kwa karibu nusu na vifo kutokana na maambukizi ya pumu kwa robo.
