The WHO Europe Child and Adolescent Health Database (CAHD) provides a set of statistics based on indicators related to the health and well-being of children and adolescents. The statistics were collated from a variety of databases as a joint effort between WHO program divisions and collaborating centres and partners. The database was constructed for the purpose of supporting the Child and Adolescent Health and Development Strategy (2015), providing the relevant information for monitoring progress on child and adolescent health indicators in the 53 member states of the WHO European Region.

Indicator notes
% population with access to sewage system, septic tank or other hygienic means of sewage disposal
Indicator code: E200107.T

Data taken from WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme on Water Supply and Sanitation publication \"Progress on sanitation and drinking-water – 2010 Update\", available from http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/en/.



Data refers to “percentage of population with improved sanitation facilities”.



Note: Every time a new WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme on Water Supply and Sanitation report comes out, it supersedes all previous reports and the data contained therein. Hence the new time series is the most accurate and updated one and they should not be mixed with the previous ones.
