Re: Webinar – Sanitation and Essential Services in Health Care Facilities; 7 Oct; 12 - 1 pm GMT

Thank you, Dave, for sharing about this important webinar.
As the event approaches, I just wanted to bring this to the top and bring it more attention.

Also, copying below the overview of the related report to elicit more interest.

WASH in health care facilities is essential for quality care – on this there is universal consensus. Many countries are taking action, but more collaborative, focused and expansive effort and investments are needed. This report focuses on global and national efforts and progress to improve water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH), cleaning and health care waste management in health care facilities. It builds upon the  first update of progress  published in  2020. In addition, in response to demands from countries and health actors on providing a consolidated package of information and interventions on climate-resilient and sustainable infrastructure services in health care facilities, data on electricity and examples of electrification are included. It includes a summary of country progress in implementing national actions (“ practical steps ”) articulated in the 2019 World Health Assembly Resolution on WASH in health care facilities, drawing on data from a “country tracker” and provides insights on successful approaches and challenges from country experiences in improving and sustaining WASH in health care facilities.

7 October 2025 Webinar – Sanitation and Essential Services in Health Care Facilities

Launched at the UN General Assembly last week, the new WHO/UNICEF report Essential Services for Quality Care: Water, Sanitation, Hygiene, Health Care Waste and Electricity Services in Health Care Facilities (covering 101 countries) highlights progress on standards, baselines, and national roadmaps. Yet billions still receive care in facilities without even basic sanitation and related services. Meeting 2030 targets requires urgent scale-up, coordinated financing, and stronger accountability.This webinar will share headline findings, country experiences (Jordan, Zambia), and perspectives from WHO, UNICEF, World Vision, IFRC, and the energy sector. Discussion will focus on unlocking implementation bottlenecks, mobilizing finance, and scaling proven sanitation and WASH approaches.Date: Tuesday, 7 October 2025
Time: 8:00 EST / 14:00 CET
