Rationale for IMCI

Features of IMCI…

•not necessarily dependent on the use of

sophisticated and expensive technologies

Page 8: Imci

Rationale for IMCI

Features of IMCI…

•a more integrated approach to

managing sick children

Page 9: Imci

Rationale for IMCI

Features of IMCI…

•careful and systematic assessment of common symptoms and specific clinical signs to guide rational and effective

actions

Page 10: Imci

10

Rationale for IMCI

Features of IMCI…

•integrates management of most common childhood problems

(pneumonia, diarrhea, measles, malaria, dengue hemorrhagic

fever, malnutrition and anemia, ear problems)

Page 11: Imci

Rationale for IMCI

Features of IMCI…

•includes preventive interventions

Page 12: Imci

Rationale for IMCI

Features of IMCI…

•adjusts curative interventions to the

capacity and functions of the health system

Page 13: Imci

Rationale for IMCI

Features of IMCI…

•involves family members and the community in

the health care process

Page 14: Imci

Objectives of IMCI

(1) reduce deaths and the frequency and severity of illness and disability; and

(2) contribute to improved growth and development
