Abstract:
The strategy of integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) aims at improving the skills of first level health workers and consequently, improving the survival chances of children. The guidelines have been shown to be cost-effective. We aimed to determine the potential impact of using IMCI guidelines on drug treatment cost. The cost of drugs prescribed for 129 sick children, by first level health workers, who were managed at three primary health facilities in Sabon Gari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, was calculated. The corresponding cost using the IMCI guidelines was also calcul

BackgroundPneumonia remains the leading cause of child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. The Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy was developed to standardise care in low-income and middle-income countries for major childhood illnesses and can effectively improve healthcare worker performance. Suboptimal clinical evaluation can result in missed diagnoses and excess morbidity and mortality.

Abstract:
Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) is a strategy that was developed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to reduce the mortality and morbidity rate of children younger than 5 years and to improve the quality of life of these children. The reduction of child mortality and morbidity is one of the Millennium Developmental Goals (MDGs) as sub-Saharan Africa has a high child mortality and morbidity prevalence. The IMCI strategy has three components namely case management, the health system and the household and community component.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses diseases that commonly kill children. It covers, causes, priorities, and community-based and clinic programmes, including immunization and the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI). It emphasizes ways in which diarrhoea, pneumonia, and malaria can be managed at community and family level. It highlights the dangers and types of diarrhoea, its causes, and treatment. It includes a detailed section on dehydration and oral rehydration therapy (ORT and ORS), appropriate rehydrating foods, and how these can be embedded into use by families. It describes acute respiratory infection (ARI), its causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Importantly, it describes how community health workers (CHWs) and community members can assess ARI severity and how it can be best treated, including the careful use of community-based and home-based antibiotics in remoter areas. Finally, the chapter addresses malaria diagnosis and treatment, particularly how a community can set up a step-by-step control programme.
