What is Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI)?
Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) is a comprehensive approach aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality in children under five years of age. It integrates the management of the most common childhood illnesses, including pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, measles, and malnutrition. IMCI focuses on improving case management skills of healthcare workers, strengthening the health system, and promoting key family and community practices.
