We would like to wish you all well at this time of crisis and also remember the person who brought in the discipline of hand washing.
During the Crimean War at a time when most people believed that infections were caused by foul odours called miasmas, Florence Nightingale implemented handwashing and other hygiene practices in the war hospital in which she worked, thus reducing cross infection significantly among the sick. Lets remember her well’.
