it may interest you to know that during the nationwide medical outreaches
recently conducted on the platform of the NYSC Health Initiative
for Rural Dwellers (HIRD), most of the ailments diagnosed and
treated were as a result of poor hygiene. They include chronic diarrhoea, dental caries (tooth decay) head/body lice, ringworm, dysentery, typhoid, polio, scabies trachoma, Hepatitis A, and
malaria amongst others. Therefore, efforts must be made to save many more lives by empowering the people with adequate
information on good grooming and environmental hygiene".
