HYGIENE

Good hygiene is the first step to being healthy. Basic hygiene can not only protect you poor health but also enhance your immune system. Kids, especially infants are prone to diseases due to tjeir lower resistance power and are often succumbed to poor health.


Even though projected as superstition, women during their perinatal period are usually isolated to a cosy place. This can sound absurd but it has a significant scientific reason behind. The motive is to protect the new-born from external germs, especially of outsiders, sometimes family members too. As per Global Reports, nearly half a million babies die in their first month of life each year because they are born into unhygienic conditions.


Simple interventions to Improve hygiene, such as access to safe water, toilets and soap, could prevent one in five new-born deaths in the developing countries. Therefore, the practice needs to be started from one's own house as one leads to many.


 Even the State Governments have entered into pact with UNICEF for the provision of hygienic and safer environment to them. Even various NGOs have taken significant steps to ensure better health to new-born's.
