Default Eating with your hands?

We go to a a few African and Middle Eastern restaurants in our city and rarely have any utensils at the table. I assumed that this is the custom in the countries where the cusine is served on a regular basis.

If Westerners and Europeans travel to countries where eating utensils are rarely used, should they be concerned about the cleanliness?

I know that in India people eat with their hands, right?
I don't see a problem if you wash your hands REALLY well, but still, the potential for spreading disease is increased considerably
