INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF
NEONATAL AND CHILDHOOD ILLNESS
I
‘’The real tragedy is that millions of children are
dying needlessly and we are failing to act. We
do not need to discover a cure for a little girl
with pneumonia, we simply need to apply the
knowledge we already have to saving lives’’
Dr. Lee Jong-wook, WHO DG
Most of these diseases are preventable. If not; can be treated easily with
effective interventions even in resource limited setting
Globally over 80% of under-5 deaths are due to just six conditions: neonatal causes,
pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria, measles, and HIV/AIDS.
INTEGRATED APPROACH
• IMCI started by WHO & UNICEF in 1994
• Indian version
IMNCI under RCH II strategy
STATISTICS
• Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in India 68/1000 live births
• Under Five Mortality Rate (U5MR) at 95/1000 live births.
• Neonatal mortality contributes >64% of infant deaths
(NMR – 63/1000 live birth)
• Mortality rate in the second month of life is also higher than
at later ages
INTEGRATED APPROACH
• IMCI started by WHO & UNICEF in 1994
• Indian version
IMNCI under RCH II strategy
Syndromic approach / action oriented
Do not diagnose the disease
But classify the Illness
IMNCI
Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMNCI) as a
key strategy for improving
child health
Management
of sick children
Nutrition Immunization Other disease
Prevention
Promotion of
Growth and
Development
Integrated Management of
Childhood illness (IMCI)
GOALS OF IMNCI
• Standardized case management of sick
newborns and children
• Focus on the most common causes of mortality
• Nutrition assessment and counselling for all sick
infants and children
• Home care for newborns to
– promote exclusive breastfeeding
– prevent hypothermia
– improve illness recognition & timely care seeking
THE CASE MANAGEMENT
PROCESS
1.Assess the child or young infant.
2. Classify the illness.
3. Identify treatment.
4. Treat the child.
5. Counsel the mother.
6. Give follow-up care.
Young Infant (Age upto 2 mnth)
• Communicating with care taker.
• Possible Bacterial Infection
• Jaundice
• Diarrhea
• Feeding Problem or Malnutrition
• Immunization Status
• Other Problems
Assess and classify Sick Young Infant
• Ask about the problems
– Listen carefully
– Use words which care taker understand
– Give caretaker time to answer
– Ask additional question to clarify
• Initial v/s Follow up visit
Communicate with care taker
Check for possible Bacterial Infection:
