Ensuring access to basic hygiene services, getting water at home 24 h per day, seven days per week, using private toilets, promoting hygiene health literacy, improving house flooring, family planning and introducing a variety of foods after age 6 months could significantly prevent diarrhea among under-five children in Myanmar. This study underscores the critical role of handwashing facilities in reducing the diarrhea incidence in children.
