Abstract

ABSTRACT Uncertainty exists in the drinking water, sanitation, hygiene, and health conditions due to mosquitoes and flies across India. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the availability of drinking water, sanitation, hygiene, and health in India. We used secondary analysis data on 95,548 household members from the National Sample Survey, which included 113,822 homes and 555,351 persons across India between June 2017 and 2018. About 36.4% of household members stated that tube wells or boreholes outside the property at a distance of less than 0.2 km were their main source of drinking water. More than 87% of respondents said that the water they drank was free of impurities, and 55.1% said that it had not been treated. About 45.7% of respondents stated that there were no bathrooms in the dwellings. More than 50% of the time, according to the respondents, garbage was not collected. A flea or mosquito problem was reported by about 97% of households. Around 97% of households reported fevers that were caused by a disease. In India, poor access to drinking water, sanitary facilities, good hygiene, and healthcare existed. The results will support the next visionary programs to increase living standards in the country.
印度的饮用水、环境卫生、个人卫生和健康状况:全国抽样调查结果
摘要 印度各地的饮用水、卫生设施、卫生和健康状况因蚊子和苍蝇而存在不确定性。因此,本研究旨在评估印度的饮用水供应、环境卫生、个人卫生和健康状况。 我们使用了全国抽样调查中 95,548 名家庭成员的二手分析数据,其中包括 2017 年 6 月至 2018 年期间印度各地的 113,822 个家庭和 555,351 人。 约 36.4% 的家庭成员表示,物业外距离小于 0.2 公里的管井或井眼是他们的主要饮用水源。超过 87% 的受访者表示他们饮用的水没有杂质,55.1% 的受访者表示他们饮用的水未经处理。约 45.7%的受访者表示住宅内没有卫生间。据受访者称,50%以上的时间没有收集垃圾。约 97% 的家庭报告有跳蚤或蚊子问题。约 97% 的家庭报告了由疾病引起的发烧。 在印度,很难获得饮用水、卫生设施、良好的个人卫生和医疗保健。这些结果将为下一步提高该国生活水平的远景计划提供支持。
