Knowledge of ORS packet or pre-packaged liquids and its determinants for the management of diarrhea among women of reproductive age: multilevel analysis of 32 sub-Saharan African countries demographic and health survey
Abstract Background Infant and child mortality due to diarrhea is a very serious and widespread problem all over the world, particularly in sub-Saharan African countries. Using an oral rehydration solution (ORS) is an easy, inexpensive, and reliable way of treating dehydration and reducing diarrhea-...
