38. INTEGRATED
MANAGEMENT OF
NEONATAL AND
CHILDHOOD ILLNESS

39.  Over the last 3 decades the annual number of deaths among
children less than 5 years of age has decreased by almost a
third.
 However, this reduction has not been evenly distributed
throughout the world. Every year more than 10 million
children die in developing countries before they reach
their fifth birthday.
39
Introduction

40.  Seven in 10 of these deaths are due to acute respiratory
infections (mostly pneumonia), diarrhoea, measles,
malaria, or malnutrition - and often to a combination of
these illnesses.
 In India, common illnesses in children under 3 years of age
include fever (27% ), acute respiratory infections (17% ),
diarrhoea (13% ) and malnutrition (43%) – and often in
combination (National Family Health Survey .
40

41.  Infant Mortality Rate continues to be high at 68/1000 live
births and Under Five Mortality Rate at 95/1000 live births
per year.
 Neonatal mortality contributes to over 64% of infant deaths
and most of these deaths occur during the first week of life.
41

42.  Health problem(s) the child may have;
 Severity of the child’s condition; and
 Actions that can be taken to care for the child (e.g. refer
the child immediately, manage with available resources, or
manage at home).
42
Evidence-based Syndrome
Approach

43.  The IMNCI strategy includes both preventive and curative
interventions that aim to improve practices in health
facilities, the health system and at home.
 At the core of the strategy is integrated case management
of the most common neonatal and childhood problems
with a focus on the most common causes of death.
43
COMPONENTS OF THE
INTEGRATED APPROACH

44.  Improvements in the case-management skills of health
staff through the provision of locally-adapted guidelines
on Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood
Illness and activities to promote their use;
 Improvements in the overall health system required for
effective management of neonatal and childhood illness;
 Improvements in family and community health care
practices.
44
The strategy includes three main
components

45.  Depending on a child’s age, various clinical signs and
symptoms differ in their degrees of reliability and
diagnostic value and importance. Therefore, the IMNCI
guidelines recommend case management procedures based
on two age categories:
◦ Young infants age up to 2 months
◦ Children age 2 months up to 5 years
45
THE PRINCIPLES OF INTEGRATED
CARE

46.  All sick young infants up to 2 months of age must be
assessed for “possible bacterial infection / jaundice”. Then
they must be routinely assessed for the major symptom
“diarrhoea”.
 All sick children age 2 months up to 5 years must be
examined for “general danger signs” which indicate the
need for immediate referral or admission to a hospital.
They must then be routinely assessed for major symptoms:
cough or difficult breathing, diarrhoea, fever and ear
problems.
46

47.  All sick young infants and children 2 months up to 5 years
must also be routinely assessed for nutritional and
immunization status, feeding problems, and other potential
problems.
 Only a limited number of carefully selected clinical signs
are used, based on evidence of their sensitivity and
specificity to detect disease. These signs were selected
considering the conditions and realities of first-level health
facilities.
47

48.  A combination of individual signs leads to an infant’s or a
child’s classification(s) rather than a diagnosis. Classification(s)
indicate the severity of condition(s). They call for specific
actions based on whether the infant or child (a) should be
urgently referred to a higher level of care, (b) requires specific
treatments (such as antibiotics or antimalarial treatment), or (c)
may be safely managed at home. The classifications are colour
coded: “pink” suggests hospital referral or admission, “yellow”
indicates initiation of specific treatment, and “green” calls for
home management.
48

49.  IMNCI management procedures use a limited number
of essential drugs and encourage active participation of
caretakers in the treatment of infants and children.
49

50. 50
IMNCI CASE
MANAGEMENT
PROCESS

51. For all sick children age up to 5 years who are brought
to a first-level health facility
ASSESS the child: Check for danger signs (or possible
bacterial infection/Jaundice). Ask about main symptoms. If a
main symptom is reported, assess further. Check nutrition
and immunization status. Check for other problems.
51

52. CLASSIFY the child's illness: Use a colour-coded
triage system to classify the child's main symptoms
and his or her nutrition or feeding status.
IF URGENT
REFERRAL is
needed and possible
IF NO URGENT
REFERRAL is
needed or possible
52

53. Identify urgent
pre-referral treatment(s)
needed for the child's
classifications.
IDENTIFY TREATMENT
needed for the child's
classifications: identify
specific medical treatments
and/or advice.
TREAT THE CHILD:
Give urgent prereferral
treatment(s) needed.
TREAT THE CHILD: Give the
first dose of oral drugs in the clinic
or advise the child's caretaker.
Teach the caretaker how to give
oral drugs and how to treat local
infections at home. If needed, give
immunizations.
53

54. REFER THE CHILD: Explain to
the child's caretaker the need for
referral. Calm the caretaker's fears
and help resolve any problems.
Write a referral note. Give
instructions and supplies needed to
care for the child on the way to the
hospital.
COUNSEL THE
MOTHER: Assess the child's
feeding, including
breastfeeding practices, and
solve feeding problems, if
present. Advise about feeding
and fluids during illness and
about when to return to a
health facility. Counsel the
mother about her own health.
FOLLOW-UP care: Give follow-up care when the child returns to
the clinic and, if necessary, reassess the child for new problems.
