SERBIA: Serb officials want hands washed before dinner - (Reuters)
November 8, 2007 – 7:11 pmSerbian health officials on Thursday were cited as appealing to the public to wash their hands and step up personal hygiene to stop jaundice spreading in the impoverished south of the country.
Some 400 people are infected so far by this form of Hepatitis A — commonly known as “the poor people’s disease” — mostly in or around south Serbia’s biggest city of Nis.
Djurdja Kisin, chief of health education at the institute, was quoted as saying, “Please wash your hands before dinner and after going to the bathroom. It’s better to prevent the disease than to have to treat it.”
