WHO Guidelines on Hygiene and Sanitation

The WHO Guidelines on Hygiene and Sanitation provide evidence-based recommendations to improve health by promoting clean water, proper waste management, and personal hygiene practices. They emphasize the importance of access to safe drinking water, adequate sanitation facilities, and effective hygiene behaviors such as handwashing with soap. These guidelines aim to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, especially in vulnerable communities, by establishing standards for infrastructure, practices, and policies that support community health. Overall, they serve as a framework for governments and organizations to create healthier environments and reduce illness related to poor hygiene and sanitation.
