Résumé : | Health-care associated infections contribute to morbidity and mortality, and to a loss of health-sector and household resources worldwide. 5 to 30 % of patients develop one or more infections during a stay in hospital - a significant proportion of which could be avoided. In crises or precarious situations, the number of infections worsens. In some circumstances, people may choose not to seek care because the nearest facilities are not functioning or because treatment is uncertain due to shortages of water, electricity or supplies. Guidelines on environmental health in health care are universally available, but additional guidance for precarious situations is needed. This document deals specifically with essential environmental health standards required for health-care settings in medium- and low-resource countries to: i) assess prevailing situations and plan the improvements that are required ii) develop and reach essential safety standards as a first goal iii) support the development and application of national policies. These guidelines have been written for use by health managers and planners, architects, urban planners, water and sanitation staff, clinical and nursing staff, carers and other health-care providers, and health promoters. |
