* For each health institution, ensure one sanitary latrine for 50 users, with a minimum of 3 squatting slabs; one for women, one for men and a separate one for the staff. A minimum space of width of 1.50m and length of 1.50m should be provided for every squatting space.

* Pits can be rectangular or circular, based on the soil type: Circular pits in loose formation and rectangular pits in hard and stable formation.

* Although a minimum distance of 15m is allowed in other countries, in Sudan it is recommended that pits are located at a minimum distance of 30 to 50 meters away from drinking water sources (tube wells and hand dug wells) depending on soil condition. The distance depends on hydro-geological conditions such as texture of the soil and groundwater depth and flow.

* When groundwater levels are high or when the soil is too hard to dig, the pit may have to be raised above ground level.

* Hand washing facilities must be provided beside each latrine in every rural health institution.
