A UN agency has given Zambia technology to purify its water in an effort to reduce diarrhea , which is the main cause of death among children under the age of five in the country.

The World Intellectual Property Organisation-WIPO has also given Zambia a technology, which will help the country harvest rain water.

WIPO Director General Francis Gurry handed over the documents for the implementation of the technologies at national level to the Minister of Health Dr. Joseph Kasonde in Geneva, Switzerland.

Speaking shortly after the handover ceremony, WIPO Director Kifle Shenkoru says his organisation took into account Zambia’s national development plan when preparing the technology.

And Dr. Kasonde thanked the United Nations agency stating that water borne diseases are real in Zambia.

About four thousand children suffer from diarrhoea every year.

  1. Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to
    be at the internet the simplest thing to remember of.
    I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as other folks think
    about concerns that they plainly don’t recognise about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as
    neatly as defined out the entire thing without having side-effects
    , other people can take a signal. Will probably be back to
    get more. Thank you
