Important factors to consider when determining the level of sanitation are:

Availability of latrines and toilets: Health facilities should have sufficient latrines and toilets to meet the needs of patients, visitors and staff.

Type of toilets: Improved toilets meet hygiene and comfort standards, while unimproved toilets may be unsanitary or unusable.

Separation: Having separate toilets for men and women is important for privacy and comfort.

Availability of toilets for people with disabilities: Health facilities should also have toilets accessible to people with disabilities to ensure equal opportunity and comfort.

The level of hygiene includes basic hand hygiene, the availability of hand washing facilities, and the availability of water and soap. Patients, staff and visitors should be able to practice hand hygiene, wash hands with soap and water in convenient and accessible places.
