In the opening remarks of a recent Sanitation for All (SWA) Finanace Ministeres' meeting, the WHO Director-General said:
"investing in water, sanitation and hygiene is not just a health imperative, it’s an economic imperative.
The COVID-19 pandemic is reminding us that health and economics are deeply intertwined, and that investments in health – including water, sanitation, and hygiene – are the necessary foundation for productive, resilient and stable economies."
