Factors influencing access to basic water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in schools of Bishoftu Town, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study

Aderajew Mekonnen Girmay et al.

Summary: Access to basic water, sanitation and hygiene services is crucial, especially in schools. A study in Ethiopia found that many schools lack adequate access to these services. Factors such as the gender of school heads and the presence of hygiene clubs and lessons play a role in determining access to basic hygiene services. This study provides valuable evidence for improving school WASH services and achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6.

Level of JMP ladders for water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services among healthcare facilities of Bishoftu Town, Ethiopia: an implication of healthcare-associated infection prevention status

Aderajew Mekonnen Girmay et al.

Summary: This study assessed the level of WASH services in healthcare facilities using JMP ladders. Out of the 44 healthcare facilities enrolled, only 4.6% had advanced drinking water services and 70.4% had basic drinking water services. However, no healthcare facilities had access to advanced or basic sanitation services. The study also found that a significant percentage of healthcare facilities lacked hygiene, waste disposal, and environmental cleaning services, while a considerable number of water samples tested positive for coliforms and E. coli.
