This small-scale project used the community as partner (CAP) model to tailor evidence-based, cost-effective, and practical strategies for mitigating the issue of unsafe drinking water in the urban slum area of Jamshoro, where the other approaches for water purification were either scarce or difficult to access. The fieldwork was carried out from January to March 2023. Before starting the project, key stakeholders and the local people obtained verbal and written consent. Using the CAP model, the Year IV nursing students conducted a community assessment to determine the local community’s awareness regarding home-based water purification methods, water contamination, and waterborne diseases. Next, the action planning process was carried out, followed by teaching through awareness sessions. The study adopted a CAP approach, which was opposed to how research activities are carried out traditionally. In this study, the undergraduates and community partners were jointly involved in assessing, setting priorities, and implementing and evaluating the project. This equitable partnership was found to be beneficial in numerous ways, including context-based relevancy, acceptability of strategies, and sustainability of the project.

“…In the field of environmental engineering, WaSH approaches, such as clean water supply, regular water quality checks, periodic cleaning of animal pens, and handwashing practices, are promising for reducing the risk of AMR. This program has been effectively implemented in domestic environments [21,22], schools [23], and healthcare facilities [24][25][26]. The World Health Organization and UNICEF launched a monitoring strategy for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goal 6, which aims to provide water for all.…”

The global spread of antibiotic resistance poses a significant threat to public health and is one of the main causes of this problem. Livestock farming plays a significant role in the horizontal and vertical transmission of treatment-resistant genes and bacteria. These processes involve contact with agricultural products and the environment, raising concerns for public health, and farming communities. The farming community is composed of a staggering 608 million farms worldwide, and their livelihood depends heavily on livestock farming. To address this issue, a multidisciplinary One Health approach focusing on integrated monitoring and intervention for humans, animals, and the environment is essential. Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) programs have the potential to significantly reduce the risk of exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, particularly extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) Escherichia coli, by obstructing the transmission route between humans and animals. Additional risk reduction measures for ESBL E. coli infection in animals include vaccination and biosecurity program implementation. Water, sanitation, and hygiene and biosecurity measures must be combined to maximize the effectiveness of the One Health program. Therefore, this study aimed to describe recent advances in biosecurity and WaSH interventions in the livestock environment, analyze the effects of these interventions on human and animal health, and investigate potential future scenarios within the quantitative microbial risk assessment framework. This study used an integrative literature review through searches of four databases, a review of World Health Organization documents through websites, and an examination of relevant texts from previously obtained reference lists. Although hygiene and sanitation are often combined, there is still a lack of quantitative evaluation of the efficacy of integrating WaSH with biosecurity in livestock. In addition, the integration of the WaSH program with biosecurity has potential as a One Health intervention in the coming years. Keywords: antibiotic-resistant bacteria, biosecurity, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase Escherichia coli, One Health, scenario, water, sanitation, and hygiene.

Critical review of household water treatment in Southeast Asian countries

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Worldwide, an average gap of 32% was observed between urban and rural populations in terms of access to safe drinking water. Worryingly, 50% of the Southeast Asia population resides in rural areas, making the region highly vulnerable to threats from not having access to safe drinking water. The sparse population density and infrastructural complexities in rural areas have made centralized water treatment systems very challenging in terms of implementation and significantly increased cost. Hence, adopting a household water treatment (HWT) system would be a more suitable co‐existing water provision solution. However, data on the sustainability of HWT in Southeast Asia is still lacking. Therefore, this review aims to provide a critical overview of water poverty and current HWT implemented in Southeast Asian countries. The factors associated with feasibility and potentially sustained implementation of the HWT in Southeast Asian countries covering user preferences, user perception towards water safety, education and training, economic feasibility, collaborations, and supportive policy environment were also discussed. In a nutshell, there is a need for co‐designing the HWT with the targeted community before its implementation for better sustainability.
