WASH FIT is a risk-based, quality improvement tool for health care facilities, covering key aspects of WASH services: water; sanitation; hand hygiene; environmental cleaning; health care waste management; and selected aspects of energy, building and facility management.

The first edition of WASH FIT was published in 2018 and as of 2022 is in use in over 40 countries. This  second edition  responds to user requests for more indicators and suggested actions on climate, environment and gender/equity, simplified risk assessment tools, national examples of implementation and focused fact sheets on key topics such as safe and sustainable waste management.

The approach and WASH standards are the same as those included in the original WASH FIT and thus those already implementing WASH FIT can use the new package to improve and expand existing efforts.
