The Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) is a strategy developed by WHO and UNICEF to address the major causes of death among children under 5 years of age. IMCI focuses on:

• Pneumonia
• Diarrhea
• Malaria
• Measles
• Malnutrition

IMCI has three components:

1. Improving health worker skills
2. Strengthening health systems
3. Improving family and community practices

In Pakistan, IMCI is implemented through primary health care facilities and is a key area for community health nursing practice and supervision.
