Our aim was to investigate the epidemiological effect of this city-wide sanitation programme on diarrhoea morbidity in children less than 3 years of age. METHODS The investigation was composed of two longitudinal studies done in 1997-98 before the...
6 At the World Summit on Sustainable Development at Johannesburg in September 2002 the World Community committed itself to “halve by 2015 the proportion of people without access to safe sanitation”. Since 1990 an estimated 747 million people have gained access to sanitation facilities (equivalent to 205,000 people every day). Despite this huge achievement, a further 1,089 million rural and 1,08...
