Treating and Preventing Diarrhoea in Bangladesh

← Back to news listing

Approximately 20,000 people suffering with diarrhoea are admitted to the main hospital in Matlab in rural Bangladesh every year.

Most of them are from poor backgrounds who do not have proper toilets and washing facilities.

The hospital treats patients, including those suffering from cholera, by replacing lost fluids and also educates them about how to prevent diarrhoea in the future.
