ミリアム・シディベは子どもの疾患と闘う戦士です。彼女の武器は何でしょうか？それは石けんです。費用対効果の高い感染予防として、肺炎や下痢、コレラや、より深刻な病気も石けんによる手洗いには勝てません。シディベは公衆衛生の専門家で、官民が連携して、手洗いと地域に根ざした継続可能な企業精神を促すよう唱えています。

手洗いの持つシンプルな力

Simple handwashing with soap can prevent up to half of deadly childhood diarrhea and cut respiratory infections by a third. Every day, the equivalent of 60 planes full of young children die from diseases that soap could help prevent. Although most households already have soap, cultural habits and perceptions about its value keep it from being used for handwashing. Harnessing the influence of brands and business can help shift these behaviors and save hundreds of thousands of lives each year.
