THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT
Due to the high number of primary and secondary school students in schools and the presence of common areas, students can contract many diseases and diseases can reach the level of contagion when individual and environmental hygiene is not sufficient. For a healthy society, hygiene habits are taught at an early age. The "Hygiene at School" project aims to ensure that students studying in crowded classes can ensure individual hygiene and apply environmental hygiene rules.
THE SUBJECT OF THE PROJECT
Within the scope of the "Hygiene at School" project, in the practical hygiene trainings prepared by the Infection Control Team of our hospital in cooperation with various schools since 2011, correct hand washing techniques, oral health and personal hygiene habits have been taught, as well as the importance of environmental hygiene and food hygiene has been shared with students, teachers and school staff.
