1. Background:
Quality healthcare depends on reliable water supply, safe sanitation, hand hygiene at points of care, and effective waste management systems that are resilient to climate shocks. Strong WASH infrastructure is critical for preventing Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI), strengthening Infection Prevention and Control (IPC), and protecting patients and healthcare workers. Globally and in India, gaps in WASH services in health facilities continue to place pregnant women, newborns, and children at heightened risk, contributing to preventable maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Evidence shows that strengthening WASH in health centres and Anganwadi Centres reduces infections and improves maternal and child health outcomes.
In India, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare prioritizes WASH in Health Care Facilities (HCFs) through national quality assurance initiatives such as Kayakalp, the National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS), and Swachh Swastha Sarvatra (SSS), alongside efforts to build the capacity of frontline health workers to promote essential hygiene practices. In Jharkhand, NFHS-5 findings indicating high anemia prevalence and persistent maternal and child health challenges underscore the need for stronger WASH systems, as inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene contribute to infections, malnutrition, low birth weight, and poor health outcomes.
