This MOOC explains how water is polluted by microbes, indicates some regional, sometimes socio-anthropological, peculiarities that favor water pollution, and describes the most common infectious diseases transmitted by ingestion or contact with water.
The MOOC develops why making water consumable and ensuring satisfactory sanitary conditions is an “intersectoral” work bringing together health actors, politicians and engineers as the GTFCC (Global task force for cholera control). Ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all is one of WHO’s 17 goals for the coming years (https://www.who.int/health-topics/sustainable-development-goals#tab=tab_3).
This MOOC is part of the Online Diploma of infectious Diseases of the Institut Pasteur DNM2IP.
