Objectifs de l'événement

Health is a Human Right. Inaccessible and low-quality WASH services hinder the realization of this right for millions across the globe. This is especially true for women and girls, persons with disability, ethnic minorities and other marginalized groups. WASH barriers have a significant impact on quality of care in healthcare facilities. This 2-hour course aligns with the updated WASH FIT and 8 practical steps to facilitate universal access to quality care.

Arrière plan

In keeping with the commitment of Leaving No One Behind, WHO South-East Asia Region developed the “Toolkit on mainstreaming of gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) in WASH in health-care facilities (2023)”. This toolkit is aligned with the WHO-UNICEF ‘Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Health care facilities - Practical Steps to achieve universal access to quality care’ and provides detailed step-by-step guidance to integrate GEDSI in 8 practical steps. It also reinforces integration of GEDSI priorities in the Water and Sanitation for Health Facility Improvement Tool (WASH FIT). This course is based on this toolkit and offers an opportunity for self-paced interactive learning on the issue.

Contenu et structure
  • Describe the importance of GEDSI in WASH in healthcare facilities;
