This note examines the work of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) - a strategy to improve child health outcomes, developed by the World Health Organization, and the United Nations Children's Fund - whose aim is to reduce childhood deaths, illnesses, and disabilities, while improving children's growth, and development. IMCI's three main components are to: improve family, and community practices related to child health, and nutrition; improve the health system for effective management of childhood illnesses; and, improve health workers' skills. Finally, the note highlights further needs, e.g., creating working groups to develop national plans in accordance with the three IMCI components, adapting national guidelines, with the IMCI training material, and include the major causes of child deaths, and conditions; targeting poor communities, and disadvantaged children; and, linking health facilities with communities, while ensuring appropriate, and affordable referral arrangements. 2012-08-13T09:31:19Z 2012-08-13T09:31:19Z 2002-03 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/03/11983413/child-health http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9780 English at a glance CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research
