Show Notes
WASH in healthcare facilities has largely been treated as an infrastructure challenge, rather than a health systems issue. Without underlying systems in place, infrastructure deteriorates. And no one knows quite sure whose job it is. WASH in health care facilities is not embedded in health systems. Health sector decision makers, practitioners and WASH actors can use using the WHO health system building blocks to address this multi sector systems issue.
Listen to this WASH Systems Academy podcast in which Lauren D'Mello-Guyett from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, shares ways in which we can systematically work together to align water, sanitation, hygiene and health systems to make patient safety, and quality care a reality.
