INTER REGION
SANITATION SEMINAR
We are pleased to welcome in Our capital
delegates from a number of African countries and from countries of the Eastern
Mediterranean Region and the international specialists in sanitation who have
come to participate in this Inter-Regional Seminar on Community Water Supply.
We wish to felicitate the World Health
Organization for its initiative in organizing this so important Seminar and
thank every person who has co-operated and assisted in its preparation.
It is well known that no life is possible without
water but it may not always be so widely known that if water is not of a good
quality it may spread disease and thus impair the health of the people who
utilize it. It should also be known that water is not only necessary for
consumption but also for personal cleanliness which in turn is such an
important factor in preventing diseases and promoting the general health and
well-being of man.
We are therefore gratified to see that leading
personalities from so many countries are assembled here to discuss together
with prominent sanitation specialists ways and means of providing their
communities with safe water supplies. And We hope that this Seminar will be an
incentive to develop and improve the basic agent of personal hygiene as well as
of environmental sanitation: namely, the ready availability of abundant and
safe water.
We wish the Seminar the very best success in its
deliberations.
Nov. 29, 1960.
