The first global baseline estimates for WASH in health care facilities, prepared by the Joint Monitoring Programme.

This document includes practical steps that Member States can take at the national and sub-national level and the WHO and UNICEF response to the 2018 UN Secretary General’s Call to Action.

This document provides a set of core questions and indicators for WASH in HCF to be used for harmonized national monitoring. The monitoring results allow better comparison of survey results over time and between countries, as well as facilitate global analysis of WASH in HCF in the context of the 2030 Agenda. The indicators include definitions for basic water, sanitation, hand hygiene, health care waste management, and environmental cleaning services. Each indicator is supported with a set of recommended questions for use in data collection, which allow classification of facilities in relation to “service ladders” that can be used to monitor progress.
