UNICEF: Vietnam Water Safety
Although Viet Nam has made rapid progress in improving its water supply situation over the past decades, many parts of the country - especially those areas heavily populated with ethnic minority groups and rural remote and often poorest communities - have been left behind. Progress towards providing access to sanitation and hygiene has been especially slow. A recent survey on sanitation situation revealed that 52 per cent of rural population having some sort of sanitation facilities, however, only 18 per cent of them have access to latrines that meet hygienic standard of the Ministry of Health Decision. The same survey indicates that only 12 per cent schools have hygienic sanitation facilities.Water quality, particularly the contamination of groundwater with arsenic, remains a serious emerging issue.
