A non-governmental organization, SHALOM, with funding from the British Charity WaterAid Liberia/Sierra Leone, recently embarked on a campaign to ensure that Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), is prioritized at various health centers in the country. “WASH has been overlooked as a pillar of public health, particularly in relation to child health, where its potential contribution is great to transform the sector. “Just imagine how life is like for most children in our country without improved water sanitation and hygiene in our community and health facilities. “Children are being delivered in health facilities that do not have safe water, improved sanitation and hygiene, Ms. Gibson observed. Sub-standard delivery beds are still being used in delivery rooms at our birthing centers,” Ms Gibson noted.
