A recent WHO–UNICEF report highlights significant gaps in sanitation and environmental cleaning across healthcare facilities worldwide. In 2025, only 40% of healthcare facilities met basic sanitation standards, while 59% met basic environmental cleaning standards. These shortcomings increase preventable health risks, reinforcing the need for effective hygiene protocols, trained personnel and consistent monitoring.
For the healthcare and hygiene industries, this highlights the importance of reliable cleaning practices, appropriate disinfectant solutions and structured hygiene protocols. Healthcare safety depends not just on having the right products, but on ensuring their consistent and effective use to strengthen infection prevention.
