MESSAGES OF WELCOMEMessage from Commonwealth Secretary-GeneralCommonwealth Heads of Government, at their Cyprus meeting last year, reiterated their commitment to paying special attention to the needs of women, youth and children. They also took particular note of the Plan of Action of the 1990 World Summit for Children and instituted a process for monitoring Commonwealth progress on its implementation. DiarrhoeaI disease takes the lead among causes of death and suffering in children of developing countries. Yet most of these deaths could be prevented using simple measures which any mother could manage. Health workers, at all levels, need to be well informed about these methods and it is critical that the medical profession takes a lead through practice and teaching. I welcome the initiative of this Commonwealth group in bringing together doctors to address these issues. May your sharing of information and development of networks greatly enhance the capacity of health workers in the Commonwealth to prevent death and disability in children afflicted by diarrhoeaI diseases and malnutrition. Emeka Anyaoku, Commonwealth Secretary-General Message from Professor J.A. Walker-SmithAs the initiator of the first Commonwealth Conference on Diarrhoea and Malnutrition in London in November 1984, it is a great honour and pleasure for me to give a message for this third conference 10 years later in Hong Kong. The original intention was that these conferences should be planned largely by paediatric gastro-enterologists to focus on the inter-relationship between diarrhoea and malnutrition in children. As other conferences had focused principally on nutritional and epidemiological aspects of this important problem, the aim was to view this issue from a gastroenterological view point but at the same time being open to any aspect of this topic. Professor A S McNeish was Co-Organiser of the London Conference and Dr. Santosh Mittal theOrganising Secretary of the second conference in New Delhi in December 1992. The Commonwealth context is of great importance as the Commonwealth represents a common heritage of shared language and common ethos in the realms of science and medicine. Furthermore, it provides a remarkable mix of developed and developing communities with a world-wide membership. However, these conferences have been concerned with children everywhere who have chronic diarrhoea and malnutrition and the conferences are open to all those concerned with this issue. It is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to come to Hong Kong and to be able to make contact with colleagues from mainland China. For developing countries the scale of mortality and morbidity from this problem remains enormous, for developed countries there has been a dramatic fall in both mortality and morbidity from chronic diarrhoea and malnutrition in recent years. However, there remains a core of children with intractable diarrhoea and malnutrition who are perhaps the greatest current problem in the field of paediatric gastroenterology. Collaborative research fostered by these conferences has already borne fruit. The formation of a Commonwealth Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at the Hong Kong meeting in 1994, should be a launching pad to further this development and should provide a formal mechanism for organisation of future conferences. Hopefully this new society will provide a valuable link between the regional societies for paediatric gastroenterology and nutrition and thus further knowledge of these problems throughout the world. Ultimately our goal must be their prevention and eradication. The organisers have provided an outstanding programme for us. We appreciate very much the hosting of this meeting by the Hong Kong Paediatric Society and the Department of Paediatrics of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. We also appreciate all the efforts of the Organising Committee, to ensure the success of the conference. J.A. Walker-Smith, Professor of Paediatric Gastroenterology Chairman's MessageI have great pleasure in welcoming you all to this Third Commonwealth Conference on Diarrhoea and Malnutrition jointly organised by the Hong Kong Paediatric Society and the Department of Paediatrics, Chinese University of Hong Kong. Diarrhoeal disease and its attendant malnutrition continue to exert a significant toll on the lives of children especially in the developing world. It accounts for more fatalities than any other diseases in developing countries and in 1994 will kill between 2 and 4 million otherwise healthy children. Simple measures, such as ORS and breast feeding can prevent many of these tragic events. However, such measures have not gained the popularity they rightly deserve. Instead, antibiotics and antidiarrhoeal drugs, most of which are useless or harmful are being widely prescribed. Malnutrition is inextricably linked with persistent diarrhoeal disease. An estimated 190 million of the world's children under age five are chronically malnourished, locked early in life into a pattern of ill health and retarded development. The risk of dying from a given disease is doubled for mildly malnourished children, and tripled for those moderately malnourished. In total it is a factor in one third of the 13 million under-five deaths each year. Developed countries, for example Hong Kong, are not immune from these problems, and diarrhoeal disease is the second commonest reason for a child to be admitted to hospital. However, because of the ready availability of a high standard of medical care the problems of dehydration and malnutrition rarely have an opportunity to develop. But another form of malnutrition, overnutrition, has become a major health problem. Professors Walker-Smith and McNeish 's original idea of meetings to focus on the interrelationship between diarrhoea and malnutrition in children and the excellent concept of bringing together paediatric gastroenterologists from both developing and developed countries to share information based on their clinical experiences and current research endeavours in the area of childhood diarrhoeal disease and its associated malnutrition is a most welcome one. Such a platform will certainly be very stimulating and educational. The conference will be attended by over 250 delegates from more than 20 countries all over the world ranging from Africa, South-East Asia, the Caribbean, the Indian sub-continent, Britain, Canada, Australia and China. The meeting is academically co-sponsored by over twenty Commonwealth Paediatric Societies or Associations and has the endorsement of the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Commonwealth Foundation. Most important of all, our Patron, Mrs. Lavender Patten is the key figure contributing to the success of this Commonwealth Conference. We are most grateful for her contribution and encouragement throughout the preparatory stages of the Conference. After a full programme of scientific sessions, I invite you to visit the very vibrant and exciting city of Hong Kong where the oriental culture meets the dynamism of the West and take home a memory of this very beautiful city. I wish you all an enjoyable and productive meeting C.B. Chow, Co-Chairman SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMESATURDAY, 12TH NOVEMBERPlenary Session: Microbiology of Diarrhoea (Auditorium,
