Unilever Promotes Personal Hygiene in Singapore

April 7, 2009: 04:33 AM EST
Unilever is running a campaign in Singapore to teach primary school children how to wash their hands, based on a telephone survey that showed one-third of Singaporeans do not wash their hands after using the toilet. Almost as many (30 percent) do not wash their hands before eating, and 54 percent do not wash after eating. Among the 67 percent who do wash their hands, 40 percent do not use soap every time. The number of hand, foot and mouth disease cases in Singapore rose by 10,000 to 29,000 in 2007.
