The discovery of hygiene in childbirth is attributed to Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian physician who worked in Vienna in the 1840s. Semmelweis observed that the death rate from puerperal fever was much higher in the student-run clinic compared to the clinic run by midwives. He concluded that the students, who often went directly from performing autopsies to examining patients, were carrying something from the mortuary that caused the infections. This led him to implement a hand washing protocol using chlorinated lime solutions, which significantly reduced the mortality rate from puerperal fever in the student-run clinic.
