STEPS FOR PREVENTION OF DIARRHOEA

Proper case management, consisting of oral rehydration therapy and feeding, can reduce the adverse effects of diarrhea, which include dehydration, nutritional damage, and risk of death

A number of interventions have been proposed for preventing diarrhea in young children, most of which involve measures related to infant feeding practices, personal hygiene, cleanliness of food, provision of safe water, safe disposal of faeces, and immunization. An analysis of the effectiveness, feasibility, and cost of each proposed intervention has shown that some are particularly effective and affordable.

Efforts to prevent diarrhea should focus on a few interventions of proven efficacy. The seven practices identified as targets for promotion are:

Breast-feeding;

Improved weaning practices;

Use of plenty of water for hygiene and use of clean water for drinking.

Hand-washing

Use of latrines and safe disposal of the stools of young children

Measles immunization

Zinc supplementation

Continued feeding the child during diarrhea.

Provision of Water supply at community and national level
