Mohakhali, Dhaka

Our country made a significant progress in child

mortality reduction and received the UN MDG Award

for its success in MDG4. IMCI program is playing thevital role to sustain and improve universal child

immunization.

It is indeed a great pleasure for me to know that MIS

of DGHS is going to publish the 4th issue of IMCI

Newsletter. This newsletter is a very useful

publication as it enables us to get facility based

graphical data on childhood illness of the whole

country in a concised and understandable way.

I hope that this newsletter will give some

programmatic direction to policy-makers and program

managers and to understand the current situation toundertake interventions for the future about the IMCI

services in Bangladesh. Finally, I would like to thank

everyone who worked hard directly and behind the

screen for publishing this newsletter successfully.

Mohakhali, DhakaOur country has made a remarkable progress in

improving the health of children. In fact, as per

recent estimate, we already achieved MDG4. The

recognition to Bangladesh's success in improving

child health came much earlier through the UN

MDG4 Award in 2010.

It is my great pleasure that the 4th issue of the

IMCI newsletter is going to be published from the

Department of MIS-Health of DGHS. The contents

of this newsletter will not only include the result of

the performance assessment of IMCI services infacilities but will also encompass other areas of

child and neonatal health, including community

IMCI. The team associated with this newsletter

made very sincere efforts to improve the quality of

the contents than those of the previous issues. An

attempt was made to analyze the data received

during the reporting period to understand the care-

seeking and morbidity pattern of the sick under-

five children attending the IMCI-designated

facilities. I like to thank the entire team of IMCI

section for their sincere support and cooperation in

publishing this newsletter. I also wish to

congratulate the entire team of MIS-Health whose

relentless work and efforts have made this

possible. I also convey my thanks to all the

managers, doctors, paramedics, and other service

providers and staffs who helped in various ways

and thus enabled us to publish this newsletter.

I express my gratefulness to the Director General of

Health Services and Director, PHC, for their continuous

support and advice in accomplishing our tasks. I

extend my special thanks to UNICEF for their

cooperation as well as technical and financial support

in publishing this newsletter. I congratulate the editorialboard for their success in reviewing the contents of this

newsletter despite various constraints. The attempt will

be successful if we can use the information for the

betterment of our children who deserve quality and

equitable health services.

Introduction

Mortality in children younger than 5 years

(under-5 mortality) remains high in Bangladesh

at 57 in 1000 live-births, despite declines over

the past decade. Pneumonia, diarrhoea,

malnutrition, and measles account for more

than half (52%) of these deaths. Integrated

Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) is a

strategy developed and promoted by WHO

and UNICEF for reducing childhood morbidity

and mortality and promoting healthy growth

and development. In 1998, the Government of

Bangladesh adopted Integrated Management

of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy to reduce

these deaths and improve child health and

development. The IMCI strategy throughHPNSDP was designed to include coordinated

activities within two objectives: (1) to reduce

morbidity and mortality associated with the

major causes of diseases in under five children

through quality case management, and (2) too

promote healthy growth and development by

preventing diseases and promoting healthy

practices through counseling the mother and

caretakers.

Newborn Health

Reducing Neonatal mortality and ensure

health of the newborn is one the main target of

IMCI section. National Neonatal Strategy &

Guidelines has developed and Standard

Operation Protocol (SOP) has formulated.

Implementation of Neonatal Action Plan has

started. Twelve Special Care Newborn Unit

(SCANU) in the District Hospitals and Medical

Colleges are functioning. A total of 41 SCANU

will be established by 2015.

IMCI has 3 (three) components

1. Improving case management skills of

health workers

2. Improving the health system

3. Improving family and community practices

A large number of childhood morbidity and

mortality (every year around 10 million children

die before they reach their fifth birthdays) in

the developing countries is caused by five

conditions: acute respiratory infections (mostly

pneumonia), diarrhoea, measles, malaria, or

malnutrition. The Integrated Management of

Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy encompasses

a range of interventions to prevent and

manage this major childhood illness, both in

health facilities and in the home. . In spite of

various disease-specific control programs in

operation, there has not been significant

reduction in childhood morbidity and

mortality. In response to this challenge,

WHO/UNICEF proposed a comprehensivesingle efficient and effective approach to

manage childhood illnesses, i.e. Integrated

Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI).

After adaptation of WHO generic modules

Bangladesh had piloted the IMCI strategy in 3

Upazilas (Matlab, Chandpur, Dhamrai, Dhaka

and Kahaloo, Bogra) in the year 2002. After

completion of pilot activities in December

2002 a joint National-International Experts

Review of early implementation phase was

held in February 2003. Based on the

recommendations of the review, Bangladesh

has started expansion of IMCI. Facility IMCI has

expanded in 410 Upazilas up to December

2012. Ten training centers for IMCI have been

established where the Clinical Management

Training (11-days CMT) is ongoing for all types

of service providers (doctors, nurses,paramedics) from selected upazilas. We have

also started the process of developing and

introducing community-IMCI. A national

strategy paper on community IMCI has been

prepared to provide directions and guidelines

on the introduction, adaptation and

implementation of C-IMCI. C-IMCI has

expanded in 150 upazilas.

IMCI protocol has incorporated in under

graduate medical curriculum. All the

Government Medical Colleges and most of

the Private medical colleges are following the

protocol. Initiative has taken to incorporate

this protocol in Nursing Institute and Medical

Assistant Training Schools (MATS) curriculum.

During the HPNSDP (2011-2016)

implementing period, the main activities

regarding IMCI program will be: strengthening

the delivery of neonatal and child health

services through facility-based IMCI;

expanding facility-IMCI for out-patient sick

child services; achieving saturation to cover

482 upazilas, 59 District Hospitals (DH) and 19Medical College Hospitals (MCH) in 64 districts

with adequate quality IMCI services;

strengthening referral care (including

Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment)

for sick under-five children in all UHCs/DHs;

ensuring growth promotion with counseling

on appropriate feeding practices, including

exclusive breastfeeding and combining

monitoring and supervision of IMCI and EPI at

the facility and community levels.

Data and Method

The childhood diseases covered by IMCI

program in Bangladesh have been classified

into 10 broad categories, viz. (i) very severe

disease, (ii) pneumonia, (iii) no pneumonia-

cough and cold, (iv) diarrhea, (v) fever-malaria,

(vi) fever-no malaria, (vii) measles, (viii) ear

problem, (ix) malnutrition, and (x) others. IMCIis provided through facility-based treatment

as well as through home-care. The latter is

called Community IMCI Program. Currently

facility-based IMCI is being delivered (in 410

upazilas) from 50 districts. Community-based

IMCI is running in 150 upazilas. UNICEF and

WHO jointly provide technical and financial

assistance to the Ministry of Health and Family

Welfare for implementing the IMCI program.

Various other development partners and

NGOs also collaborate with the Government.

The Management Information System (MIS) of

the Directorate General of Health Services

(DGHS) tries to capture the data from IMCI

services provided in different IMCI facilities.

Recently, a web-based software (District

Health Information System [DHIS]) has been

developed by MIS, DGHS, with the help of GIZ

to collect IMCI service data from different

levels of designated IMCI facilities. All the

IMCI-designated facilities are to send IMCI

performance report to the MIS of DGHS every

month for compilation, analysis, monitoring,and tracking of the progress of the program

and dissemination. Community IMCI program

has been implemented by NGOs and

monitored by DGHS. The IMCI program

districts are listed below: Barisal division:

Barisal, Bhola and Patuakhali; Chittagong

division: Brahmanbaria, Bandarban, Chandpur,

Chittagong, Comilla, Cox's Bazar, Khagrachhari,

Laxmipur, and Rangamati; Dhaka division:

Dhaka, Gazipur, Gopalganj, Jamalpur,

Kishoreganj, Madaripur, Mymensingh,

Narsingdi, Netrokona, Shariatpur, Sherpur, and

Tangail; Khulna division: Bagherhat,

Chuadanga, Jessore, Narail, Khulna, and

Shatkhira; Rajshahi division: Bogra,

Chapainawabganj, Naogaon, Natore,

Joypurhat, Pabna, Rajshahi, and Sirajganj;

Rangpur division: Dinajpur, Ghaibandha,

Kurigram, Lalmonirhat, Nilphamari, Panchgarh,Rangpur, and Thakurgaon; and Sylhet division:

Hobiganj, Maulvibazar, Sunamganj, and Sylhet.

In 2011, data were collected from the 50 IMCI

program districts because these 50 districts

were fully functional during the reporting

period. The rest of the districts were included

at the mid or last part of the year 2011. All

reports covered 2,560,909 children "out-

04

patient and emergency disease-encounters"

(a child may have multiple illnesses). An

attempt has been made to analyze data on

these children to understand their morbidity

pattern. In this newsletter, results of analysis of

the data received from facilities have been

presented.

Limitations of the Data

This newsletter is based on the monthly IMCI

reports received by MIS-Health from the IMCI

upazilas. The morbidity status of the children

was analyzed; the cases were assessed as per

the IMCI protocol. This newsletter captures

data only on the children who attended the

IMCI facilities. A number of children visitprivate doctors, some take help from

traditional healers, or some even do not take

any treatment. Those children were not

included in the report.

Results

A. Coverage of IMCI Facilities

B. IMCI diseases by age-groups

The distribution of the IMCI diseases among

the children aged below 5 years by age-

groups, viz. 0-28 day(s), 29-59 day(s), 2-12

month(s) and 1-5 year(s) has been shown in

Figure 1. The data were received from IMCI

facilities in 50 districts in 2011. It is seen that

children from 1 to 5 year(s) age-group

constituted the largest IMCI service recipients

(62.1%), followed by 2 to 12 months age-

group (30.8%). Of the total under-five

children, 2.5% were at the neonatal age. Age-

group 29 to 59 days comprised 4.7% of the

total children receiving services from the IMCI

facilities.

Figure 14. Percent distribution of 'referred

children' by age-group (n=47,172; 2.0% of

Figure 4 to 14 show the distribution of the IMCI

diseases among children aged 0 day to 5 years.

It is seen that the number and percentage of

patients increased with age in case of each

disease. Caution is needed to interpret this

situation. This trend should be related to more

attendance of the older children in the IMCI

facilities than the younger ones.

Table 2 presents the distribution of the IMCI

diseases within each age-group. Among the

total children, the problem of respiratory tract

was the leading cause of morbidity (cough and

cold: 33.7%; pneumonia: 8.7%). Fever (malaria or

no malaria), and diarrhea were the morbidities

of 20.7% and 14.9% of the children respectively.Similar pattern of morbidities was also

observed among children of all age-groups.

C. Number distribution of cases with IMCI
