Hoshiarpur (Daljit Ajnoha):- Following the directions of Civil Surgeon Hoshiarpur Dr. Mandeep Kamal, patients were educated about the correct method of handwashing and its importance at CHC Binewal under the leadership of SMO Dr. Nirmal Kumar.
On the occasion, health department staff informed patients that hand hygiene is essential for a healthy life. Developing the habit of washing hands properly with soap and clean water can help prevent diarrhoea, stomach-related illnesses and various other infections.
Patients were advised to wash their hands thoroughly before eating, after using the toilet, before preparing food, and after coughing or sneezing. They were also informed about the importance of cleaning their palms, the backs of their hands, the spaces between their fingers, thumbs and fingernails.
Health department staff said that adopting proper handwashing habits can reduce the spread of diseases. This not only protects one's own health but also helps keep family members and the wider community healthy.
The main objective of this awareness activity was to encourage people to adopt good hygiene practices and give priority to hand hygiene in their daily lives.
