طباعة

The regional training materials on “Caring for the sick child in the community” were field-tested in El Fayoum, Egypt, from 6 to 8 July 2010. The materials, in Arabic, concerned the version of the draft regional package of training materials on “Caring for the sick child in the community” designed for community health workers in settings with no malaria and where community health workers are not authorized to dispense medicines. Within this context, these providers are expected to identify common child health problems (serious conditions requiring referral, diarrhoea, pneumonia and malnutrition) and advise child caregivers on home care, vaccination and feeding practices.
