"Safer water, better health"

For the first time a report depicts country-by-country estimates of the burden of disease due to water, sanitation and hygiene.
Newly published the report fits into our Topic of the Month July 2008: it provides the epidemiological evidence and economic arguments for fully integrating water, sanitation and hygiene in countries' disease reduction strategies -- a pre-requisite to achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
