On June 19, 2013, we are conducting an important discussion on a paper that was published in a Lancet re: moderate to severe diarrheal illness (MSD). This was a 3 years  multi centre prospective case control study popularly known as the Global Enteric Multicenter Study, GEMS. The main purpose of the study was to find out the burden and aetiology of diarrheal diseases in infants and young children in developing countries.

For more information, please visit the GEMS homepage for links to the study press release, a fact sheet, supplemental country-specific fact sheets, and an infographic summarizing study findings.
