PACR of a project (9/81-9/91) to reduce mortality due to diarrheal diseases among Egyptian children aged 0-5 years, mainly through the extension of oral rehydration therapy (ORT). Exceeding all targets, the project dramatically reduced child mortality due to diarrhea (from 33/1,000 in 1982 to 11.8/1,000 in 1991, a 64.5% decline) and has earned a worldwide reputation for its success. Specifically, the project: (1) increased mothers' awareness of ORT to 99% since 1985 vs. a targeted 90%; (2) raised mothers' knowledge of proper mixing of oral rehydration salts (ORS) to 90% vs. a targeted 75%; and (3) raised mother's use of ORS to treat diarrhea to at least 66% vs. a targeted 50%. The training program was highly successful. A total of 47 appropriately equipped governorate training centers offered hands-on ORT training to over 10,000 physicians and 15,000 nurses, while workshops for medical organizations -- the Pediatric Society, the Pharmacists Syndicate, and the Friends of Breast milk Society -- provided information on ORT to administrators, pharmacists, statisticians, social workers, and community leaders. The project also helped add ORT to medical and nursing school curricula. Ma
