Drinking-water quality estimation in health centres in Costa Rica 2017

This study pretends to estimate drinking-water coverage, supplied in Costa Rica’s healthcare centers in 2017. The main objective is to establish the baseline data that allow proposing goals for the years 2022 and 2030 within of the Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. To compl...

Rivera-Navarro, Pablo C. Estimación calidad del agua This study pretends to estimate drinking-water coverage, supplied in Costa Rica’s healthcare centers in 2017. The main objective is to establish the baseline data that allow proposing goals for the years 2022 and 2030 within of the Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. To comply with it, the following methodology was applied: first, it was described the organization of social security healthcare centers. Second, drinking-water at healthcare centers was evaluated through costa rican regulation, wich establishes microbiological parameters as fecal coliforms, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Heterotrophic Plate Count. Then, “Ladder for drinking-water” (Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene, OMS/ UNICEF) was applied, based on water quality data for 2017 at the supply source water and supply network. The results of microbiological and residual chlorine analysis shows that 97% of supply source water in healthcare centers and 87.5 % of the supply network are provided with potable water. This results allows to define that 97 % is qualified as “advanced service”, 3 % as “basic service”, 0 % as “limited service” and 0 % “ without service, according to the “Ladder for drinking-water” However, inside hospitals, the results shows that 87.5% is qualified as “advanced service”, and 12.5% as “basic service”. 0% of supply network was qualified as “limited service” and “no service”. Se presenta la primera estimación de la línea base de la cobertura y calidad del agua utilizada en los centros de salud en Costa Rica al año 2017, con el propósito de cumplir con los lineamientos, de establecer las metas en el marco de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Organización Mundial de la Salud al 2030. Dichos datos se obtuvieron del Laboratorio Nacional de Aguas, mediante su programa de vigilancia y control de la calidad del agua en sus diferentes usos. Con base en el análisis de estos resultados, se estimó que el 97% de los centros de salud son abastecidos con agua de calidad potable o apta para el consumo humano, y de un 87,5% en las aguas intrahospitalarias. Esto permite definir, de acuerdo a la “Escalera para el Agua Potable”, que el 97% se calificó como “servicio avanzado”, 3% como “servicio básico”, 0% como “servicio limitado” y 0% “sin servicio”. No obstante, en el agua al interior de los hospitales, la aplicación de la “Escalera del agua Potable” se clasifica con un 87,5% como “Servicio mejorado”, un 12,5% como “Servicio básico”, 0% como “servicio limitado” y 0% “sin servicio”. Las metas de cobertura con agua de calidad potable propuestas para los años 2022 y 2030 son de 99% y 100%, respectivamente, para las aguas de entrada a los nosocomios y de 95% y de 100% al interior de los hospitales respectivamente, según el Decreto Ejecutivo 37087-S. 2019-12-05 2020-09-25T23:12:45Z 2020-09-25T23:12:45Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/4885 10.18845/tm.v32i10.4885 https://hdl.handle.net/2238/12040 spa https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/4885/4662 application/pdf Editorial Tecnológica de Costa Rica (entidad editora) Tecnología en marcha Journal; 2019: Vol. 32 especial.
