The Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) was established in 1966.\r\n\r\nAlmost everyone in Matlab has a personal heath identification number and records are kept of births, deaths, marriages, and various illnesses. The relative isolation of the area makes it a nearly self-contained population. Dozens of studies and hundreds of reports and academic papers detail all aspects of public health, especially fertility, reproductive health, maternal and child health, cause of death and child morbidity, health equity, and effects of climate change.\r\n\r\nMatlab played a central role the development of ORS, oral rehydration salts, a home-made mixture of water, salt and molasses that prevents dehydration in children sick with cholera.
