Poor hygiene and sanitation are responsible for much of the disease burden in two rural communities in the Volta Region of Ghana. A study produced recommendations for educational activities on personal and public hygiene and the creation of improved water supply and sanitation facilities through community participation and the use of local resources. These steps are now being taken.
