Diarrhoea Disease Burden from Inadequate WASH, Global Estimates

World Health Organization data on Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) attributable to diarrhoea from inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). The dataset quantifies the global health burden of this preventable disease driver. It is published via the WHO Global Health Observatory (GHO) platform.
