How do you incorporate hand hygiene into your daily routine?
 

As children we are taught by our parents that we need to clean hands. Since I was little I remember the rules when to clean hands such as when we wake up in the morning and go to bathroom, it is the time to clean hands and face after refreshment but also it is time before our breakfast. When we go out and are in public transport that we use, when we arrive to our destination point it is another time when we have to clean our hands. We also remember that after going to toilet, it is must to clean our hands. Before any meals do not forget about cleaning hands. Once we learn it when we are young we automatically do it the rest of our time.

 

Which do you find more effective: hand washing or hand sanitizing?
 

I find hand washing is good that gives me a feeling of clean hands because often hand sanitizing liquids are a little bit either sticky or oily that although clean hands but still does not give me a feeling of clean hands. It is easy to get water and soup everywhere, that is why my preference is hand washing.

Have you ever educated your community members about the importance of hand hygiene? If yes, how?
 

When I was in school I had to be a helper for junior classes, so children ages 6-7 years. I remember how we were playing outside with balls, running around and falling. Later on when we finished our classes and came into the building it was time for meal and we all went to cafeteria so we had to explain children to clean their hands properly to prevent any infection. The children were happily washing hands the same time they understandably splashed themselves.

What tips would you share to improve hand hygiene in your community?
 

I would advise not to forget about infections that easily transmitted via dirty hands and could cause bad pain in tummy but also diarrhoea, if we explain that such infection could end up with being in hospital and also spending time with rehydration. It is easy to avoid infection and to keep themselves healthy.
