RE: IMPROVING HEALTH OF STEEMIANS #11- How To Wash Your Hands Properly
Thank you for sharing this!
In doing some research for my undergraduate degree I learned that until somewhat recently, having a baby in a hospital was basically a death sentence for both the mother and the baby. In one hospital physicians began washing their hands before delivering the babies and infant and maternal mortality quickly rose to over 95%!
Interesting, do you maybe have a link to that article or something ?
Here it is - https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/01/12/375663920/the-doctor-who-championed-hand-washing-and-saved-women-s-lives
I'll see if I can track it down :)
Amazing :)
