WHO and UNICEF, with the Government of the Republic of Zambia, cohosted a global meeting in Livingstone, Zambia on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in health care facilities (HCF) in September 2019. The three-day meeting built upon previous annual global meetings on WASH in health care facilities. The overall purpose of the meeting was to strengthen understanding on how to advance national efforts to improve WASH in health care facilities, including developing national roadmaps and setting targets, monitoring and investments, and to elaborate country responses to the WHA Resolution and secure further support for resource commitment to ensure effective implementation.
