Flood-prone regions, especially in low-resource settings, are susceptible to outbreaks of waterborne and hygiene-related diseases. Hygiene kits, distributed by Community Health Nurses (CHNs), have proven critical in addressing immediate health risks while promoting long-term behavioural change. This review evaluates the effectiveness of these kits in improving hygiene practices and reducing disease prevalence, with an emphasis on evidence from flood-affected regions like Bangladesh. The study examines key interventions, challenges, and outcomes through a synthesis of relevant literature.
