According to the circular, jointly issued by the National Health Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the toilets at grassroots in medical institutions are the focus. The campaign aims to improve infrastructure.

Similarly, the campaign would enhance long-term sanitation management and ensure up-to-standard cleaning of such sites.

Toilets at these sites must be cleaned and sterilised on a regular basis, the circular said.

It also stressed that in times of intestinal infectious diseases epidemics, the sterilisation work must be intensified and the sewage disposal process should also follow special regulations.
