This document discusses the management of sick children in Nepal. It begins by stating that the major causes of under-5 mortality in Nepal are prematurity, sepsis, pneumonia, diarrhea, and malnutrition. It describes the linkage between community-based and facility-based Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI) protocols. Key points of the referral process are outlined, including assessing stability, writing a referral note, arranging safe transport, and communicating with the receiving facility. Effective communication skills like active listening, explaining information clearly, and encouraging questions are also covered.
Nearly 19,000 children under 5 years old die every day globally, with 50% of deaths occurring in just five countries: India, Nigeria, Congo, Pakistan, and China. In India, there were over 16.5 lakh child deaths in 2011, making it the country with the highest child mortality rate. The Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness (IMNCI) strategy was developed by the WHO, UNICEF, and other agencies to reduce child deaths through improved case management, health systems, and family/community health practices. IMNCI focuses on preventing, treating, and promoting child health for children under 5 by managing common illnesses like diarrhea, fever, and respiratory infections.
The document discusses Integrated Management of Newborn and Childhood Illness (IMNCI), an integrated approach to child health developed by WHO and UNICEF. IMNCI focuses on early detection and treatment of childhood illnesses. It includes preventive and curative elements implemented by families, communities and health facilities. The IMNCI case management process involves assessing the child, classifying illnesses, identifying treatment, treating the child, counseling the mother, and providing follow-up care. Danger signs are used to classify very severe disease requiring urgent referral. Conditions are further classified based on symptoms of cough/breathing problems, diarrhea and fever to determine appropriate treatment.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
2. Section Objectives
• State the causes of under 5 mortality in Nepal
• Describe the linkage of CB-IMNCI with FB-IMNCI
Programme
• Describe the management process of sick children
referred to hospital
• Describe various concepts of effective communication
skills and counseling
• Demonstrate effective communication skills while
counseling
• Describe the infection prevention measures involved in
care of newborn and children
3. Under five mortality
• Every year more than 10 million children die in
developing countries before they reach their fifth
birthday.
• In Nepal, the under-five mortality rate is 39 per
1000 live births. (NDHS 2016)
• Majority of these deaths occur within the
neonatal period.
• The neonatal mortality rate is 21 per 1000 live
births and infant mortality rate is 32 per 1000 live
births.
4. Under five mortality
• Though Nepal met its Millennium Development
Goal target of reducing under-5 mortality to 54
deaths per 1,000 live births by 2015, it has a long
way to go to meet the Sustainable Development
Goal target of reducing under-five mortality to 28
deaths per 1,000 live births.
• More challenging is the goal of reducing neonatal
mortality rate below 12 per 1000 live births.
5. Under five mortality
• The most common causes of infant and
child mortality in developing countries
including Nepal are perinatal conditions,
pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria, measles and
malnutrition
• Many of these deaths may be prevented by
early referral of sick children to health facility
and providing appropriate treatment.

– Facilities are not fully geared up to receive sick neonates
– Communication systems are non-existent or inefficient
18. Preparation before transport
1. Assess and stabilize
Utmost important
If unstable, deteriorate on way
a. Temperature
b. Airway- position neck, suction secretions,
check for chest movements
c. Breathing- Tactile stimulation, BMV
19. Preparation before transport
1. Assess and stabilise
d. Circulation- Fluid boluses, dopamine if
needed
e. Fluids- Maintenance, replace ongoing loss
f. Medications- Antibiotics, anticonvulsants, Vit
K in newborn
g. Feeding
Breastfeeding, cup or gavages
If not able to feed, then only give IVF
20. Preparation before transport
2. Write a note
a. Details of baby’s condition
b. Need for referral
c. Treatment given to the baby
3. Encourage mother to accompany
