Integrated Management of Childhood Illness Program
Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) is a strategy for reducing the mortality and morbidity associated with the major causes of childhood illness. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) started to develop the IMCI strategy in 1992, and today more than 100 countries worldwide have adopted it. This strategy primarily aims to reduce death, illness and disability, and to promote improved growth and development among children under 5 years of age. It includes both preventive and curative elements that are implemented by families and communities, as well as health facilities.
