Respiratory Therapy

Students were provided with disposable gowns, gloves, mask, goggles and gloves to make the experience more real.

Importance of Hand Washing

Hand washing is a simple habit that can help keep you healthy. We taught the students the benefits of good hand hygiene, when to wash your hands and how to clean them properly.

Hand washing is a simple habit that requires only soap and warm water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer — a cleanser that doesn't require water.
