Google honors Ignaz Semmelweis, who discovers handwashing saves lives

Google in its new doodle paid tribute to 19^th-century’s  Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis, by  showing how to wash.

Ignaz Semmelweis was the first person who proved that handwashing saves lives and surprisingly he did it decades before people knew about what bacteria and viruses were.
