Oral rehydration therapy: Guidelines for the treatment of diarrhoea endorsed the use of ORT for the treatment of mild to moderate dehydration secondary to diarrhoea.

It took nearly 20 years after the successful use of ORT in developing countries for physicians in other countries to accept and use this treatment.
