| Details | IMNCI (Integrated Management of Newborn and Childhood Illness) is a strategy developed by WHO and UNICEF to reduce deaths and illness among children under five years. It focuses on the major childhood killers such as pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria, measles, malnutrition, and newborn conditions. The approach looks at the child as a whole rather than treating single diseases separately. IMNCI has three main components: improving health worker skills, strengthening the health system, and promoting good family and community practices. Health workers assess children using standard steps, classify illness with color codes, and give appropriate treatment or referral. The overall goal is to ensure early detection, proper treatment, and healthy growth and development of every child. |
