Access to improved sanitation is a key preventive measure against sanitary-related gastro-enteric diseases such as diarrhoea. We assessed the access to sanitation facilities and users' satisfaction in 50 randomly selected slums of Kampala through a cross-sectional survey conducted in 2010. A total of 1500 household respondents were interviewed. Sixty-eight per cent of the respondents used shared toilets, 20% private, 11% public toilets and less than 1% reported using flying toilets or practising open defecation. More than half of the respondents (51.7%) were not satisfied with their sanitation facilities. Determinants for satisfaction with the facilities used included the nature and type of toilet facilities used, their cleanliness, and the number of families sharing them. The study findings showed that slum dwellers had high access to sanitation facilities. However, most of them were shared and majority of the respondents were not satisfied with their facilities, primarily due to cleanliness and over demand.
获得更好的卫生设施是预防与卫生相关的肠胃疾病（如腹泻）的关键措施。我们通过 2010 年进行的横断面调查，评估了 50 个随机选择的坎帕拉贫民窟的卫生设施获取情况和使用者的满意度。共有 1500 户家庭受访者接受了采访。68%的受访者使用共享厕所，20%使用私人厕所，11%使用公共厕所，不到 1%的人报告使用流动厕所或露天排便。超过一半的受访者（51.7%）对他们的卫生设施不满意。对使用设施的满意度的决定因素包括使用的厕所设施的性质和类型、其清洁度以及共享它们的家庭数量。研究结果表明，贫民窟居民获得卫生设施的机会很高。然而，它们大多数是共用的，大多数受访者对他们的设施不满意，主要是因为清洁度和过度需求。
