KVIP

Introduction

Welcome to Pantang Hospital’s dedicated page for our Kumasi Ventilated Improved Pit (KVIP) toilet. At Pantang Hospital, we prioritize hygiene and sanitation for both staff and patients. We have implemented the Kumasi KVIP system to ensure safe, odor-free, and environmentally friendly waste management.

What is a Kumasi KVIP Toilet?

The Kumasi KVIP toilet is an improved type of pit latrine designed to reduce the spread of diseases, control odors, and improve the quality of sanitation. It features a ventilated shaft to direct gases away from the toilet, creating a cleaner, safer environment for users. This type of toilet is sustainable, cost-effective, and well-suited for our hospital’s unique needs.

Key Features of Our Kumasi KVIP Toilet:

  • Ventilated Shaft: The Kumasi KVIP system has a vent pipe that removes gases and odors, making it more comfortable for users.
  • Improved Design: Unlike traditional pit latrines, KVIP toilets have a two-chamber system that allows waste to decompose efficiently.
  • Durability: The structure is designed to withstand wear and tear, ensuring long-term use with minimal maintenance.
  • Hygienic: The design promotes cleanliness and minimizes the risk of contamination.
  • Environmentally Friendly: The KVIP system is a sustainable sanitation option that is safe for the environment.

Why Kumasi KVIP at Pantang Hospital?

At Pantang Hospital, ensuring the safety and comfort of our patients and staff is essential.
