In developing countries, dehydration due to parasitic water and infectious disease causes up to 80% of diarrhoeal fatalities. And poor access to resources and healthcare increase the severity of dehydration within these areas.
On our first mission trip with the Foundation For International Medical Relief of Children FIMRC, our team traveled to Project Alajuelita, Costa Rica. There, we treated dehydration in a community of displaced and impoverished Nicaraguan refugees and provided instruction on oral rehydration therapy.
