from the International Chapter of Diarrheal D and R and the Public
Health Institute.
Chapter objectives:
- Act as a catalyst
for scientific data collection and
technical assistance.

in innovative scientific research, conducting
studies and projects of particular relevance to in-country
problems.

and disseminate findings to health agencies and
the public.
Chapter activities
have included appearances by chapter
leaders on television and radio, discussing the appropriate use
of antibiotics. APUA has provided technical assistance by
