• The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is implementing
the Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood
Illness (IMNCI) as a key child health strategy within the
National Reproductive Child Health Programme II and the
National Rural Health Mission.

22. Objectives
The objectives of the IMNCI strategy are:
• to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with the
major causes of disease in children less than five years of
age
• to contribute to the healthy growth and development of
children.

23. The IMNCI guidelines are based on the following
principles:
• All sick children must be checked for ‘general danger signs’ which
indicate the need for immediate referral or admission to a higher
health facility level.
• All sick children must be routinely assessed for major symptoms:
cough, fever, diarrhoea, ear problems.
• Children should also be assessed for nutritional and immunization
status, feeding problems and other problems.

24. The 3 Components of the IMNCI Strategy
• The strategy actually includes three main components:
1. Improvements in the case-management skills of health staff
through the guidelines on Integrated Management of Neonatal and
Childhood illness
2. Improvements in the overall health system required for effective
management of childhood illness;
3. Improvements in family and community health care practices and
involving them in health care process

27. Assess and classify sick young children of age
upto 2 month

32. Pre- service IMNCI
• It is being included in the curriculum of medical colleges of the country.
• This will help in providing the much needed trained IMNCI manpower in
the public and private sector.
Facility based IMNCI (F – IMNCI)
• The F-IMNCI training would provide the optimum skills needed by the
Medical officers and Staff Nurses at the FRU’s (First Referral Unit)
• Thereby helps to address the acute shortage of Pediatricians at facilities
• It focusses on providing appropriate inpatient management of the major
causes of neonatal and childhood mortality such as asphyxia, sepsis, low
birth weight, pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, meningitis and severe
malnutrition in children at the FRU
• The master trainers at state and district level are pediatricians from
tertiary hospitals and medical colleges.
