They learn to recognize the signs that indicate the child should be brought back to the health worker. Mothers of dehydrated children are asked to stay with their children to give ORT and continue breast-feeding with the supervision and encouragement of staff. They are taught how to give ORS solution, continue ORT at home, feed during and after diarrhoea, and recognize the signs indicating that a child should be brought back to a health worker. If staff are trained and supplies available, IV therapy is given when needed. As soon as the child is able to drink, ORS solution is given in addition to IV therapy.
Simple benches are available for people waiting to be seen.
There is space for movement of health staff, patients, and mothers. Before diarrhoea cases leave the facility, staff make sure that they have attended to any other health problems or concerns. Proper administrative procedures are followed to allow the facility to operate smoothly. Appropriate supplies are available in adequate quantities. The supplies are taken out of the storage area and arranged each morning so that they will be convenient to use.
