Abstract

The video promotes personel hygiene and community practises that can help break the cycle of infection cuased by polluted surroundings and poor sanitation habits, even when safe drinking water is available. Emphasis is laid on women and health. Extensive animation has been used to illustrate clearly the path of disease and to unify the message for audiences of diverse cultural backgrounds. The film is aimed primarily at health care workers, and water and sanitation engineers and technicians, and can be used as aprime source of information for policymakers. It provides a useful general introduction for seminar discussions, TTA course participants, etc.
