Proposed ORS sachet transition from 1 litre to 1/2 litre : Kenya

In preparation for this transition two officials from the Kenya Control of Diarrhoeal Diseases Programme visited Egypt in May 1989 to study that country"s ORS change-over experience. In June, Dr. Hosni Mahrous NCDDP/Egypt and a U.S. adviser traveled to Kenya to work with the Kenya MOH/CDD team to develop a plan for the transition from 1 litre sachets to 1/2 litre sachets, education of health workers and the public on preparation of 1/2 litre ORS, and a timetable for the transition period. This plan also outlines recommendations to MOH/CDD concerning the administration, integration, and communication aspects of the programme. The report is divided into observations, conclusions and recommendations. (Author abstract)
