Abstract

Key findings & recommendations - GWS are integral to health care delivery in Malawi but are not effectively supported in current systems - Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) and Infection & Prevention Control standards are inadequate at District GWS. These current conditions are a public health risk to GWS users and the wider community. - GWS must be formally recognised with a clear policy and an operational plan on who has overall responsibility, how they should be managed, the functions they should perform coupled with a long-term business and financial plan.
