A dynamic framework
IMCI (Integrated Management of Childhood Illness) was also seen as a dynamic framework, meant to respond to new challenges and priorities as they emerged, and include more interventions as they became available. As such, IMCI was not meant to be restrictive and limited to its original “presentation”: it was a public health umbrella for primary child health care, bound to evolve over the years to respond to needs.
For more information on the rationale for IMCI and other aspects, an “IMCI information package” developed by HQ is available. The Region is committed to using a quality assurance approach to improve the performance of health providers, the quality of health services delivered to children through the health system and child care provided in the community.
IMCI has been promoted in the Region also as a key strategy to contribute to achieving the child health related Millennium Development Goals.
