| Popis: | IntroductionOral rehydration salts (ORS) and zinc comprise the globally recommended treatment for diarrhoea in children aged MethodsWe tested our approach using an observational pre–post test study design in two intervention districts in rural Zambia (Kalomo and Katete), each with a matched comparator (Monze and Petauke, respectively). We assessed the effect on coverage, of ORS and zinc as well as ORS alone, by conducting household surveys of a total of 2458 and 2477 caregivers of children aged ResultsBoth intervention districts experienced significant increases in coverage of ORS and zinc from ConclusionImplementation of a value-chain creation approach for an innovative, over-the-counter, co-packaged diarrhoea-treatment kit can significantly improve the coverage of ORS and zinc. |
