Resumen
Descripción
The largest global equity gap in health,
is among children, and concentrated in communicable
diseases. This note examines the work of the Integrated
Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) - a strategy to
improve child health outcomes, developed by the World Health
Organization, and the United Nations Children's Fund -
whose aim is to reduce childhood deaths, illnesses, and
disabilities, while improving children's growth, and
development. IMCI's three main components are to:
improve family, and community practices related to child
health, and nutrition; improve the health system for
effective management of childhood illnesses; and, improve
health workers' skills. Finally, the note highlights
further needs, e.g., creating working groups to develop
national plans in accordance with the three IMCI components,
adapting national guidelines, with the IMCI training
material, and include the major causes of child deaths, and
conditions; targeting poor communities, and disadvantaged
children; and, linking health facilities with communities,
while ensuring appropriate, and affordable referral arrangements.
