The 2024 WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) report highlights significant deficiencies in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services within health care facilities, particularly in fragile contexts. As of 2023, 37% of health care facilities in these areas lacked basic water services, and 54% were without basic hygiene services. Globally, 9% of facilities had no water service, impacting 743 million people, while 8% lacked sanitation services, affecting 660 million individuals. The report emphasizes the critical role of WASH in primary health care and calls for urgent investments to ensure safe, dignified, and quality care for all.
