Multi-component hand hygiene intervention in primary health care facilities

"Intervention facilities will receive (1), two novel Gravit'eau (https://www.graviteau.ch/) handwashing systems which are locally produced. These systems recycle water for handwashing with gravity through a membrane filter without electricity up to a month. Facilities also receive (2), a behavior change intervention lead by RANAS (https://www.ranasmosler.com/ranas), expert psychologist for behavior change in WASH. They will also receive (3), support to implement WASH FIT (https://washfit.org/#/) in their facilities, a tool developed by WHO to sustainably maintain and improve WASH infrastructure in health care facilities. Additionally, we are recruiting a circuit rider responsible for the regular inspection and maintenance of WASH infrastructure. (4), the facilities will receive support for regular water chlorination."
