Economic cost of a case of diarrhoea in Uvira, Democratic Republic of the Congo: A cost of illness study
Households in Uvira experience many diarrhoeal episodes per year, and the COI is an important burden for them and society. These costs could be avoided if diarrhoea were prevented through public health interventions to reduce prevalence and care-seeking was better managed to avert this public health burden.
