No Progress Made in Giving Lifesaving Diarrhea Treatments for Kids
In the analysis that featured in the October issue of Bulletin of the World Health Organization, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggested that osmolarity oral rehydration salts (ORS) and zinc supplements are simple remedies to diarrhea.

Robert Black, MD, MPH, co-author of the article, chair and Edgar Berman Professor of International Health at the Bloomberg School, said: "Low osmolarity ORS and zinc are inexpensive, safe and easy to use and have the potential to dramatically lower diarrhea morbidity and mortality,"
"Many countries have changed diarrhea management policies to include low osmolarity ORS and zinc, but there is a significant gap between policy change and effective program implementation, leaving few children treated appropriately.
