Improvements in water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and wastewater management in all sectors are critical elements of preventing infections and reducing the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as identified in the Global Action Plan to combat AMR. Yet, at present, WASH and wastewater management actors and improvement actions are under-represented in AMR multi-stakeholder platforms and national action plans (NAPs). This WHO/FAO/OIE technical brief on WASH […]
Las inspecciones sanitarias son listas de verificación de observación breves y estandarizadas que las partes interesadas pueden adaptar y utilizar para evaluar los factores de riesgo en las instalaciones de saneamiento o cerca de ellas e identificar acciones apropiadas para salvaguardar la salud pública.
Les inspections sanitaires sont de courtes checklists d'observation standardisées qui peuvent être adaptées et utilisées par les intervenants pour évaluer les facteurs de risques dans les installations d'assainissement ou à proximité et identifier les actions appropriées pour sauvegarder la santé publique.
