4/6 Personal hygiene, esp. #handhygiene, is an important component of human well-being that is practised the world over. In fact, #handwashing can mean the difference between life & death. #cleanhandsday

6/6 There is simply nothing like a splash of water, a bit of soap & a 20 second scrub to clean hands & beat back the bad bugs. Make sure to clean back & front of hands, between fingers, thumbs & fingertips & repeat often, it’s a life saver! #HandHygiene
