ORAL REHYDRATION THERAPY

Allows for children suffering from mild to moderate dehydration to receive treatment while their parents/caretakers receive education on the prevention and treatment of dehydration.

Under the supervision of nurses with advanced training, mothers and caregivers were instructed on the proper administration of fluids to rehydrate their children.

In 2006, more than 1,600 children were treated at the ORT Corner and the same trend continued in 2007.
