Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was a Hungarian physician born in 1818 and active at the Vienna General Hospital.

In the early 1840s at the Vienna General Hospital, as many as 10% of the women giving birth die from Childbed fever: A deadly disease affecting women that have just given birth.

Ignaz knows the cause of childbed fever: It's the contaminated hands of the doctors delivering the babies. And they won't listen to him and wash their hands!

In this Project, we're going to re-analyze the data that made Semmelweis suspect that something was wrong, which led him to discover the importance of hand washing.

• The Data we will use in the analysis was imported and cleaned to ensure there were no irregularities.

• Exploratory Data Analysis was done to get insights from the data and draw our conclusions.

• Data Visualization was done using Matplotlib to show the insights gotten from the data.

• Jupyter Notebook

A Notebook used as the Integrated Development Environment for the Project execution.
