As Tanzania joins the rest of the world in commemorating World Health Day, it has been said that promoting hygiene through education provision is crucial to controlling diseases and strengthening public health in the country. A cardiologist at the Aga Khan University (AKU), Dr Zahra Khan, says it is important to use media to acquire health information. He says the guidance should be built on areas of personal hygiene and the cleanliness of their surroundings, noting that the habit will develop as the children grow up. “Equally, if parental instruction involves issues of conflict and abusive language, the same will be adopted by children, hence neglecting cleanliness and personal hygiene among issues of their concern," he explains.
