EU Doctors call for urgent sanitation investment to avert global health crisis

To mark World Toilet Day,  19 November 2009, doctors across Europe united in a plea to end the neglect of a global health crisis that is responsible for killing over 4,000 children every day – the lack of a safe toilet for over 2.5 billion people.

In an open letter in support of the international End Water Poverty campaign, CPME, AEMH, FEMS and UEMS Presidents called on leaders to take action, highlighting how the very investments that helped Europe escape poverty and disease were being neglected in efforts to do the same in Africa and Asia.
