Abstract
Significant research advances in recent years have prompted national health administrators to ask WHO to give high priority to technical cooperation in the control of diarrheal diseases A WHO Diarrheal Diseases Control Programme has there-fore been developed consisting of a health services component and a research component. The former is concerned with the incorporation into national primary health care programme of new, effective strategies such as oral rehydration therapy along with education on proper dietetic management to reduce diarrhea-related mortality and malnutrition; and improved maternal and child health practices, better water supplies, sanitation, and food hygiene and epidemic control along with health education as an integral part of all these strategies. The research component of the programme provides support to operational and basic research to determine the best ways of applying new knowledge and to develop new and improved tools for prevention and treatment.
