Healing with Dignity: Strengthening WASH in Healthcare Facilities

A health facility should always be a place of healing, never a source of infection. When healthcare facilities lack clean water, proper toilets, and safe waste management, patient care is compromised, and the risk of infection rises. Through our WASH in Healthcare Facilities (HCFs) initiative, guided by World Vision's global quality standards, we are transforming rural clinics into safe, hygienic environments. 

We work to install reliable water systems, build separate and dignified restrooms for patients and staff, and set up safe disposal systems for medical waste. By training local health workers and partnering with communities to maintain these facilities, World Vision Zambia is ensuring that mothers can give birth safely and families can receive the professional, dignified care they deserve.
