Answer:

Less women died after giving brith!

Step-by-step explanation:

The result of washing with soap and water removes more germs than with water alone. Although soap has been around for thousands of years, in the 1840's one forward thinking doctor, Dr Ignaz Semmelweis from Hungary discovered that far less women died after childbirth if the doctor had washed their hands.
