Description
Integrated Management of Childhood IllnessEvery year, nearly 11 million children die before their fifth birthday. In response to this challenge, the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) was developed – a strategy designed to reduce child mortality and morbidity in developing countries. The approach focuses on the major causes of deaths in children through improving case management skills of health workers, strengthening the health system and addressing family and community practices.Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) offers simple and effective methods to prevent and manage the leading causes of serious illness and mortality in young children. The clinical guidelines promote evidence-based assessment and treatment, using a syndromic approach that supports the rational, effective and affordable use of drugs. This course is developed to upscale the knowledge of healthcare workers on IMCI.
