Dettol co-sponsors five day medical exhibition

Dettol, a power brand from the portfolio of Reckitt Benckiser and a global leader in the health and hygiene category co-sponsored a three day medical exhibition arranged by National Institute of Health Sciences, Kalutara.

During this programme, Dettol used interactive means to educate consumers on facts about protection against germs and also provided valuable information on personal hygiene. The three day event saw a huge number of visitors including parents, teachers and children viewing the demonstrations on proper hand washing techniques while participating in special games through the day.

The main activity at the event was based on educating children on how to wash their hands, as hand washing is the initial measure of personal hygiene. The Public Health Instructors (PHIs) were actively engaged in the process of demonstrating the eight steps of hand washing while educating the participants on the importance of it in different occasions.

Another stall at the event hosted interactive games for children, where the winners were awarded gifts.

Dettol is known for its "trusted germ protection" in Sri Lanka under the umbrella of Reckitt Benckiser (Lanka) Ltd which is known for marketing world renowned brands such as Harpic, Mortein, Airwick, Lysol, Veet, Gaviscon, Strepsils and Disprin.
