Ignaz Semmelweis
Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis is a Hungarian physician and scientist, now known as a pioneer in disinfection procedures. Described as "the savior of mothers," Semmelweis found that postpartum fever can be greatly reduced by using hand antisepsis in obstetric clinics. Postpartum fever was common in hospitals in the mid-19th century and was often fatal. Semmelweis proposed the practice of washing hands with a solution of chlorinated lime in 1847 while working in the first obstetric clinic at Vienna General Hospital, where doctors had three times the death rate. He has published a book on his findings in Causes, Concepts and Prevention of Fever in Children. Although there are various publications on handwashing that reduce mortality to less than 1%, Semmelweis' observations contradict scientific and medical views of the time and his ideas are rejected by the medical community.
