- Abstract
The article discusses the report released by the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) on the water and sanitation status in health-care facilities from 54 low- and middle-income countries, that revealed water to be not readily available in about 40 percent. Needs discussed include establishment of policies and standards on service delivery, sufficiency of human and financial resources to support service delivery, and improved leadership and coordination.
