• Infections with intestinal helminths (worms) - approximately two
billion people are infected with soil-transmitted helminths
worldwide; they are transmitted by eggs present in human faeces
which in turn contaminate soil in areas where sanitation is poor.
 Stunted growth in children
 Malnutrition, particularly in children
•
• The list of diseases that could be reduced with proper access to sanitation
and hygiene practices:

spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another.
• The Philippines continues to witness outbreaks of emerging
infectious diseases, including epidemic-prone communicable
diseases such as dengue, cholera, typhoid and leptospirosis.
• Dengue especially, has become a serious public health problem,
imposing a significant burden on hospitals and other health care
services.
• The most common disease outbreaks are food-borne diseases like
cholera, salmonellosis and shigellosis. Meanwhile, the Philippines
continues to face health security threats from newly emerging
diseases
