Enhancing Healthcare WASH Standards Through GAHAR–AASTMT Collaboration

The General Authority for Healthcare Accreditation and Regulation (GAHAR) and the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) signed a cooperation protocol to strengthen the skills of medical professionals and support healthcare facility accreditation. The initiative aligns with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).

The program trains participants to implement essential WASH standards, including safe water supply, wastewater management, hygiene practices, and pollution control in medical environments. It also reinforces the role of water quality and sanitation infrastructure in improving patient safety and protecting water resources.

Graduates will receive an AASTMT diploma followed by the EGYCAP credential from GAHAR, equipping them to apply practical water, sanitation, and hygiene measures in healthcare settings. The collaboration supports Egypt’s Vision 2030 by promoting sustainable healthcare and improved sanitation services.
