Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT)• Is A Simple Treatment For Dehydration Associated
With Diarrhea.• ORT Consists Of A Solution Of Salts And Sugars That
Is Taken By Mouth.• It Is Used Around The World, But Is Most Important
In The Developing World like India. • Where It Saves Millions Of Children A Year From
Death Due To Diarrhea.• Between 1980 and 2006, ORT decreased the
