🌍 World Hand Hygiene Day 2025 – Dr Low Child Specialist Clinic Batu Pahat

Dr Low Child Specialist Clinic Batu Pahat is proud to support World Hand Hygiene Day, observed every year on May 5th. As a dedicated pediatric clinic in Batu Pahat, we emphasize the critical importance of hand hygiene in child healthcare and daily life.

🧼 Why Hand Hygiene Matters for Children

Proper hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infections, especially among children. In pediatric care, clean hands can help reduce the transmission of diseases like:

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD)
Influenza
Gastrointestinal infections
COVID-19
Common colds

Children are naturally curious and often touch their faces, toys, and shared surfaces. This makes handwashing a crucial part of pediatric disease prevention.

✋ How to Practice Proper Hand Hygiene

At Dr Low Child Specialist Clinic Batu Pahat, we educate both parents and children on how to wash hands effectively:

Wet hands with clean water.
Apply soap and lather well.
Scrub all hand surfaces for at least 20 seconds.
Rinse and dry with a clean towel.

We also encourage the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers when soap and water are not available.

🏥 What We Do at Dr Low Child Specialist Clinic Batu Pahat

At our clinic in Batu Pahat, we follow strict hand hygiene protocols for:
