Recientemente estuve en uno de los 235 distritos municipales que tiene nuestro pa\u00eds y conversando con lugare\u00f1os sali\u00f3 a relucir el tema referente al hecho de que un significativo porcentaje de nuestra poblaci\u00f3n no tiene acceso a servicios sanitarios.<\/p>\n
Mientras la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana exhibe cifras macroecon\u00f3micas alentadoras y proyectos de infraestructura de alto impacto, en vastas zonas rurales y distritos municipales existen hogares, escuelas y comunidades enteras sin acceso a ba\u00f1os dignos, dependiendo de letrinas precarias o, peor a\u00fan, de la defecaci\u00f3n al aire libre.<\/p>\n
Un 10.2 % de los hogares dominicanos a\u00fan usan letrinas como su principal servicio sanitario, y un 2.8 % no tienen ning\u00fan servicio sanitario formal, seg\u00fan el X Censo Nacional de Poblaci\u00f3n y Vivienda 2022<\/i> de la Oficina Nacional de Estad\u00edstica (ONE).<\/p>\n
Esta situaci\u00f3n se agrava en \u00e1reas rurales, donde la pobreza estructural, la dispersi\u00f3n poblacional y la d\u00e9bil inversi\u00f3n p\u00fablica convergen para perpetuar un problema que no es solo de infraestructura, sino de dignidad humana y salud p\u00fablica.<\/p>\n
La falta de saneamiento b\u00e1sico no es un asunto menor ya que est\u00e1 directamente relacionada con enfermedades gastrointestinales, parasitosis, contaminaci\u00f3n de fuentes de agua y ausentismo escolar.<\/p>\n
En el caso de las escuelas rurales, el uso de letrinas refleja una realidad de que durante largos a\u00f1os se ha ignorado que los alumnos deben tener un entorno m\u00ednimo que garantice condiciones saludables para aprender. Educar sin saneamiento es educar a medias.<\/p>\n
Resulta a\u00fan m\u00e1s preocupante que esta realidad persista incluso en distritos municipales formalmente constituidos, con autoridades electas y presupuestos asignados.<\/p>\n
Esto revela una falla estructural en la priorizaci\u00f3n del gasto p\u00fablico y en la planificaci\u00f3n territorial, ya que el saneamiento rural sigue siendo tratado como un tema secundario, cuando en realidad es uno de los pilares del desarrollo sostenible y del cumplimiento de los derechos fundamentales.<\/p>\n
El Estado dominicano ha asumido compromisos internacionales en materia de agua y saneamiento, pero la brecha entre el discurso y la vida cotidiana del campo sigue siendo escandalosa.<\/p>\n
No se trata de megaproyectos ni de soluciones tecnol\u00f3gicamente complejas; se trata de voluntad pol\u00edtica, coordinaci\u00f3n interinstitucional y de reconocer que el progreso no puede medirse solo en carreteras o edificaciones, sino tambi\u00e9n en ba\u00f1os, agua limpia y salud comunitaria.<\/p>\n
El gobierno que encabeza el presidente Luis Abinader no puede ignorar esta situaci\u00f3n en la que una parte del pa\u00eds contin\u00faa viviendo en condiciones indignas.<\/p>\n
El saneamiento b\u00e1sico no es un favor ni un lujo, sino una deuda social pendiente que el Estado debe saldar si aspira a un desarrollo verdaderamente inclusivo.<\/p>\n
