Core questions and indicators for monitoring WASH in health care facilities in the Sustainable Development Goals
This document presents recommended core indicators to support harmonized monitoring of WASH in HCF in support of the 2030 Agenda. The indicators include definitions for “basic” water, sanitation, hand hygiene, health care waste management and environmental cleaning. Each indicator is supported with a set of recommended questions for use in data collection, which allow classification of facilities in relation to “service ladders” that can be used to monitor progress. If national data collection instruments adopt these core questions and response categories, the resulting data will be increasingly harmonized and will allow better comparison of survey results over time and between countries, as well as facilitate global analysis of WASH in HCF in the context of the 2030 Agenda.
