Transmission of Diarrhoea

Description of the Training

This topic provides 20 images showing the transmission of diarrhoea by 5 main routes known as the 5 ‘f’s’, namely, flies, faeces, fingers, food and fluid.  The cards are used to help explain this multi-route of transmission and helps to show how these 5 main routes can be blocked by good hygiene (hand washing with soap), safe water and sanitation and control of flies.

How to use Card set  6. ‘Transmission of Diarrhoea’ 

This set can be used in three ways:

  1. A participant holds up the card to the audience and describes what she sees on the card and whether she thinks it is safe  or unsafe practice.
  2. The images can then be sorted into three groups of good, average and bad practices and can be combined with  Card set 10.  Food Hygiene .
  3.  Once the transmission route has been demonstrated the other  cards showing safe practices can be used to block the route.
