Potential for an Electronic Clinical Decision Support Tool to Support Appropriate Antibiotic Use for Pediatric Diarrhea Among Village Doctors in Bangladesh
Diarrhea is a significant cause of morbidity among children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and is responsible for over 500 000 deaths per year. In many LMICs, informally trained healthcare providers are the first point of care for children with diarrhea. In Bangladesh, “village doctors” practice allopathic medicine with limited formal training and provide healthcare services to approximately two-thirds of Bangladesh’s population.
