March 10th 2010

Wexford, Ireland, March 10th 2010:  – Medentech is delighted to support World Water Day initiatives with Aquatabs, its leading brand of Water Purification Tablets.
Providing access to improved water supply is part of the 2015 Millennium Goal, without which many millions of lives will continue to be lost. In fact 1 in 5 deaths occur in children under the age of 5 as a result of water related diseases. World Water Day helps profile the importance of making available safe drinking to those most in need around the world. 

Medentech is delighted to be part of this global initiative with their Aquatabs brand through many projects underway around the World but more recently by developing an unique website portal to provide vital information in an emergency situation called the Aquatabs Emergency International Handbook. 
When a disaster occurs affecting the supply of safe water, the speedy dissemination of information, materials and products in the initial 24/36 hours of the emergency will have a significant impact in reducing the overall toll on human life. The Aquatabs Emergency International Handbook contains downloadable PDFs of visual materials, comprehensive training and information about international product supply.  The Handbook can be accessed through www.aquatabs.com. For further information contact info@medentech.com
World Water Day will take place all around the world. Everybody can play a part in improving the quality of water to those most in need around the World. For more information on World Water Day visit www.worldwaterday2010.info.
