Urban slums in Côte d'Ivoire are characterized by poor living conditions, including inadequate sanitation and waste management systems, which contribute to the spread of environmentally-linked diseases. A systematic literature review was employed to identify relevant studies. Key databases were searched for articles published during the specified period. Studies were selected based on predefined criteria related to urban slums, Côte d'Ivoire, and environmental health impacts. The review identified a significant proportion (45%) of studies reporting that poor sanitation infrastructure in slums was associated with higher rates of waterborne diseases such as cholera. This observation highlights the critical role of local hygiene practices in disease prevention. This systematic literature review underscores the importance of addressing environmental health issues within urban slums to mitigate linked diseases and improve public health outcomes. Policy recommendations include investment in improved sanitation facilities, waste management systems, and community education programmes to reduce the incidence of environmentally-linked diseases in Côte d'Ivoire's urban slums. The empirical specification follows Y=₀+^ X+, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
