Global Handwashing Day: WHO urges hygiene to prevent diseases
Handwashing, once a vital habit during COVID-19, is now fading. On Global Handwashing Day (Oct 15), WHO reminds us of its power to prevent diseases like COVID-19, RSV, and more. Despite its importance, millions still lack access to soap and water. WHO and UNICEF urge nations to improve hygiene systems and raise awareness to protect global health.
