WASH FIT Digital is a free, open-access digital tool, based on the WASH FIT guide developed by WHO and UNICEF. WASH FIT is designed to help health care facilities improve quality of care through improved water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Built on the mWater digital monitoring platform, WASH FIT Digital includes a set of forms for implementing a risk-based management approach developed by WHO and UNICEF. The site also includes a dashboard to visualize the process and keep track of progress.
The WASH FIT Process
WASH FIT covers four broad areas: water, sanitation (including health care waste management), hygiene (hand hygiene and environmental disinfection) and management. Each area includes a list of indicators and targets for achieving minimum standards for maintaining a safe and clean environment. You can adapt your assessment form to include all, or only some, of the indicators according to your need.
WASH FIT is a framework to guide a continuous cycle of improvement, through assessments, prioritization of risk and defining specific, targeted actions.
WASH FIT Digital
The digital version of WASH FIT uses the mWater platform to map facilities, perform assessments, track hazards and actions, and visualize data over time. Data is collected via the WASH FIT mobile app and visualized on this website.
