- Summary:
- This is a review report on the 10th annual meeting for the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) of the Diarrheal Disease Control (CDD) Program. The participants took particular notice of the external review report issued in 1988. It was noted that the health service component had retained proper case management, which was composed of ORT, proper feeding during and after diarrheal, and judicious use of intravenous fluids and anti-microbials. For the research component, 32 new projects were launched in 18 countries in 1988 alone, and of the total program projects, 77% were stationed in the developing countries. TAG reviewed the reports from the regional advisory committees and noted developments in 6 WHO regions. Great emphasis was placed on problem solving activities needed to overcome specific constraints that hinder effective implementation of individual national CDD programs. In addition, 13 key indicators were selected for continuous monitoring and evaluation of the CDD programs. Current research strengthening activities include short-term training fellowships, workshops for proposal developments and provision of technical support during site visits. Conclusions and recommendations were given in the following areas: basic program implementation, training, communication, monitoring and evaluation, research component, epidemiology and disease prevention, implementation, research, immunology, microbiology and vaccine development.
