Diarrhoea remains the second most common cause of death among children under five globally. Nearly one in five child deaths – about 1.5 millions each year – is due to diarrhoea. It kills more young children than AIDS, malaria and measles combined.
       
This report puts forward a new, 7-point plan for comprehensive diarrhoea control. The plan includes a treatment package to significantly reduce child deaths due to diarrhoea, and a prevention package to make a lasting reduction in the diarrhoea burden for years to come. But intensified efforts on both fronts must begin right away.
