A quarter of the world's health facilities lack basic water services, impacting 2 billion people, UN says
A fountain is pictured near the Springs Pavilion that belongs to Nestle Waters near Henniez, April 1, 2019.
The World Health Organization and UN Children's Fund said more than 1 million deaths a year were associated with unclean births, and 15 percent of all patients attending a health facility developed infections. One of the development goals agreed by world leaders in 2015 was for all to have access to safe water and sanitation by 2030.
The agencies said good water and sanitation services were crucial to reducing the spread of antimicrobial resistance, one of the greatest global health threats.
