This report defines gastroenteritis as an infection of the stomach primarily caused by bacterial infections and viral intoxications, leading to diarrhea and vomiting. It highlights the global prevalence of this disease, with a specific focus on Saudi Arabia and Nepal, where factors such as lower socioeconomic status and parental education levels contribute to its high incidence, particularly among children. The report presents morbidity and mortality data, revealing high rates of gastroenteritis in both countries, with significant numbers of deaths among children under five, emphasizing the financial burden on families and the loss of lives. It also references several studies that support these findings, including the impact of rotavirus infections, and discusses the implications for public health, the economy, and the overall well-being of the affected populations. The report emphasizes the need for improved hygiene, education, and healthcare interventions to mitigate the impact of gastroenteritis. Furthermore, the report emphasizes that gastroenteritis is a hazardous disease since it dehydrates the patients and kills them within a short period if not treated.
