This year, the purpose of the World toilet day is "Hygiene to improve people's health”. The aim is to call for the attention and priority of the committees and authorities for the rural sanitation and to promote the cooperation and the coordination to raise the people's awareness, calling for building and using hygienic latrines. According to the report of the Department of Health, up to September 2019, there is a total of 213,066 households in our province, the households with latrines are 210,616 (accounting for 98.85%), of which the number of households with hygienic latrines is 78.45 %.

The indiscriminate defecation still exists in some rural areas, which is one of the causes of diarrhea and pneumonia, two diseases that can be fatal.
