He and colleagues conducted the first clinical trials of Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT) in adult and pediatric cholera and non cholera patients and patients. Working with BRAC, a Bangladeshi NGO, 13 million caregivers were taught to prepare and use home-based ORT. He and colleagues recently documented another scaled up activity, the BRAC TB DOTS program, which covers over 100 million. At HSPH he also directs a program on research ethics and conducted numerous ethics workshops worldwide. Scaling up “is the process of reaching large numbers of a target population in a broader geographic area by institutionalizing effective programs.” One of the most successful organizations in scaling up health programs has been BRAC, a Bangladesh NGO that is one of the world’s largest. The presentation will focus their program for the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis that now covers a population of over 100 million programs using the DOTS approach. Lessons from the program will be reviewed and their application to similar health problems involving long-term therapy, such as HIV/AIDS, will be discussed.
