WASH in health care facilities is a fundamental prerequisite for achieving national health goals and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 (ensure healthy lives and promote well-being) and 6 (ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation). Safe water, functioning hand washing facilities, latrines, and hygiene and cleaning practices are especially important for improving health outcomes linked to maternal, newborn and child health, as well as carrying out basic infection prevention and control (IPC) procedures necessary to prevent antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
