In case you missed it. This is our approach to self-sustaining change being analysed and presented by three respected academics.

@DefeatDD *Important New Report* “Stop the Cycle of Diarrhoeal Disease" BUT no mention co-packaged ORS & Zinc. Co-packaging is the global recommendation. Why? Because without it very few children get both (~16%).

@SamyAhmar @DrRramchandani @colalife Thanks Samy. This experience and the subsequent scale-up which saw national ORS/Zinc coverage rise to 35% (DHS 2019) in just a couple of years is the bedrock of our commitment to @orszca. Onwards and upwards! #orszcopack #ors #orsz #zinc

Proud to announce that our work on co-packaged ORS/Zinc in Zambia has just been published in BMJ Innovations: https://t.co/ruEmeoV8S5
Coverage went from <1% to 45% in 12 months. That’s a lot of lives saved.

@SaveCEO_UK calls for action to save 3.4 million young lives. COVID means we're going backwards in maternal and child health. We have tried an test approaches like ORS/Zinc which only 15% of diarrhoea cases get. It's time to act.
