I was thrilled about the prospect of lending my hand—quite literally—to this initiative so when the Savlon Swasth Bharat Mission crew presented a distinctive and entertaining method of raising awareness about this important subject. The program was an absolute pleasure to work on. We all collectively expect that these compelling movies influence behavior and advance proper hand hygiene.”
