Gastroenteritis is one of the major causes of childhood mortality and morbidity. Oral rehydration therapy is the cornerstone of treatment and has been widely promoted throughout the world. A number of stamps have been produced to increase public awareness and improve education. The three stamps shown here illustrate various features and aspects of this form of treatment.
