Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

Sanitation is a human right.

Sanitation services in health care facilities are essential to deliver high-quality care that improves the health, welfare and dignity of patients and staff and improve health outcomes. Health facilities without proper toilets and waste disposal can spread disease instead of preventing them. Sanitary management of excreta in health care is particularly important to ensure faecal pathogens do not contaminate the health care facility environment or surrounding areas. Yet, around 1 in 5 health care facilities lack a sanitation service. That means, 1.5 billion people are going to health centers no toilets at all.

Clean water and a clean environment shouldn’t be a luxury.
