WELL Factsheet: Child survival and environmental health

This factsheet looks at the role of environmental health in improving child survival, focussing on three important causes of child mortality; acute respiratory infection (ARI), diarrhoeal disease and unintentional injury (including drowning and poisoning). A broad overview is presented. Specific details of implementing interventions are not considered.

Produced by WEDC and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine for the Department of International Development (DFID) of the UK government (now the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)), this archive collection of WELL factsheets remains relevant. It covers topics ranging from the anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater through to water quality and safety plans.
