ANNOUNCEMENTS (01): NEW WEBSITE WITH RESOURCES FOR DIARRHEAL DISEASE CONTROL *************************************************************************** A ProMED-mail post <http://www.promedmail.org> ProMED-mail is a program of the International Society for Infectious Diseases <http://www.isid.org> Date: Tue 20 Jan 2009 From: Deborah Phillips <dphillips@path.org> PATH is pleased to announce the launch of a new website, Resources for Diarrheal Disease Control <http://www.eddcontrol.org/>. This resource-rich site provides tools that advocates and practitioners alike can use in spreading the word about the deadly toll of diarrheal disease and the solutions to stop it. In addition to established interventions that include oral rehydration therapy, breastfeeding, clean water, and hygiene, new tools like zinc and diarrhea vaccines bring new opportunities to re-invigorate interest and investments toward addressing the 2nd-leading cause of child death. Presented in partnership with UNICEF [United Nations Children's Fund], the website includes key documents and links to information on these simple, lifesaving interventions, as well as highlights of in-country programs that are putting them in the hands of mothers and caregivers. -- Deborah Phillips PATH USA <dphillips@path.org>
