Abstract

To meet the sustainable development goals (SDG) target of reducing under-five mortality to 25 per 1000 live births, concerted efforts are required to end all preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 y of age. There is evidence to support Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness (IMNCI) as a cost- effective strategy which can improve child survival. IMNCI has 3 components- capacity building of health workers, health system strengthening and improving community and family practice. For best results, all three components of the IMNCI strategy should be implemented in a coordinated fashion. IMNCI implementation in india has been uneven. The main focus has been on capacity building and with little attention on system strengthening or improving community practices. Ill- sustained funding and poor monitoring and supervision system were additional factors which are major challenges. Since evidence based interventions remain same, IMNCI remains as relevant today as before. It would be appropriate to redesign it as per current needs and implement it with more planning with committed budget and inbuilt measures of quality improvement along with supportive supervision.
