Getting the basics right – the role of water, sanitation and hygiene in maternal and reproductive health; a conceptual framework

Abstract

This paper explores linkages between WASH and maternal and perinatal health via a conceptual approach and a scoping review. Although acknowledging that major gaps exist, the authors conclude that existing evidence strongly suggests that poor WASH influences maternal and reproductive health outcomes.
