Abstract |
Globally, diarrhoea kills more young children than malaria and tuberculosis combined. Alongside poor water quality, lack of sanitation and poor hygiene are the main culprits. Yet the sanitation gap is twice as large as that of water supply, an estimated 2.6 billion people lack access to basic sanitation, while sanitation and hygiene investments lag far behind those in water and other social sectors such us health and education. |
