Integrated Management of Neonatal & Childhood Illnesses

The Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness (IMNCI) is the Indian adaptation of the WHO-UNICEF generic Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy and is the centrepiece of newborn and child health strategy under Reproductive Child Health II and National Rural health Mission. Integrated Management of Neonates & Children is an integrated approach that includes the assessment, classification and management of the major problems a sick infant or a child aged less than 5 years may have. It also includes assessment of nutritional and immunization status of all sick infants and children.
