Kuala Lumpur, 16 October 2023 – To earmark Global Handwashing Day 2023, Dettol in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH), Global Hygiene Council (GHC), Infectious Disease expert Professor Dr Zamberi Sekawi and Watsons came together for an informative panel discussion to exchange insights around the importance of improved hygiene practices and contextualise global and local public health landscapes. This joint effort by key health experts is aimed at supporting the Ministry of Health’s Madani Afiat programme in encouraging the adoption of more effective hygiene and handwashing habits across Malaysia. 

During the discussion, it was determined that communicable diseases are on the rise as comprehensive handwashing and hygiene practices adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic are diminishing despite sustained handwashing being the single most effective preventative measure. The panel also stressed that the spread of infectious diseases and the effects of a changing climate are only intensifying.
