PRC joins GHD celebration
THE Philippine Red Cross (PRC) joined yesterday for the annual celebration of the Global Handwashing Day (GHD) 2024.
Dubbed “Why are clean hands still important?”, the global advocacy was dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding about the importance of handwashing with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases that save lives.
PRC Chairman and CEO Dick Gordon underscored the important role the PRC plays in promoting this advocacy especially to the most vulnerable during disasters and emergencies.
“Although we only celebrate it every 15th of October, I must say that every day is Global Handwashing Day at the Red Cross because our response is 24/7, ” Gordon said.
