PRINCIPLES OF IMNCI GUIDELINES

 All children under 5 yr of age must be examined for conditions which indicate immediate referral
 Children must be routinely assessed for major symptoms, nutritional and immunization status,
feeding problems and other problems
 Only a limited number of carefully selected clinical signs are used for assessment
 A combination of individual signs is used to classify the severity of illness which calls for specific
action rather than a 'diagnosis’.
 Classifications are color-coded and suggest referral (pink), initiation of treatment in health facility
(yellow) or management at home (green)
 IMNCI guidelines address most common, but not all pediatric problems
 IMNCI management protocols use a limited number of essential drugs
 Caretakers are actively involved in the treatment of children
 IMNCI includes counseling of caretakers about home care including feeding, fluids and when to
return to health facility
