Hygiene is the practice of maintaining cleanliness for preserving health and preventing the spread of diseases. The word comes from Greek, which means “an act of health.”
Most of the time, hygiene refers to personal hygiene, which means maintaining cleanliness in your whole body. Just like with your physical health, it’s important to take good care of your sexual health. That includes oral hygiene, feminine hygiene, and more. The most common acts of personal hygiene include washing your hands, taking a bath, and brushing your teeth.
Two billion people still do not have basic sanitation services, while 673 million people practice “open defecation”.
According to the World Health Organization, sanitation means proper and safe management of human waste, from the toilet to solid waste disposal. Improper sanitation is a leading cause of disease and death worldwide, particularly among children.
The Difference
sanitation : as the infrastructure and systems that we use to manage our waste. This includes everything from toilets and sewer systems to landfills and recycling facilities. Hygiene, on the other hand, is all about preventing the spread of germs and keeping ourselves clean.
Hygiene : aims to improve the health of an individual. It includes both personal hygiene and environmental hygiene. Personal hygiene is the practice of maintaining cleanliness in one’s body, face, clothes, and hair.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT:
the layout of spaces and the way they are used can encourage contact with others or offer seclusion. This is relevant for hygiene and sanitation facilities because they require both privacy and sharing with others.
