WASH intervention narrows health gap in rural areas: Study ( Bangladesh)


The study titled "WASH interventions and child diarrhoea at the interface of climate and socioeconomic position in Bangladesh" has revealed  that WASH intervention can have a large impact in reducing health inequality.

Clean water, safe sanitation, and good hygiene practices can have a significant impact on health, especially in children. Access however can vary significantly between rich and poor households, which results in a gap of health equality, according to the study.
