Country materials
As schools introduce IMCI (Integrated Management of Childhood Illness), materials for IMCI training are adapted and new materials are developed by the schools. Below are few examples.
IMCI student’s notes, Egypt
Developed in 1999 and revised in 2004 by Prof Ahmed Madkour, University of Alexandria, Egypt, in collaboration with the WHO Regional office, the “Notes” have been developed to give medical students a general overview of IMCI and be a key resource together with the IMCI chart booklet. The “IMCI student’s notes” have since been used by many medical schools in Egypt which have introduced IMCI into their programmes. They have also been incorporated in local textbooks of paediatrics or used as a reference for the development of adapted versions (e.g., in Al Minya University).
Student’s manual, Sudan
A student’s manual was developed by the National IMCI pre-service Task Force, Sudan, to give medical students a general overview of IMCI. It focuses on the assessment, classification, and identification of treatment for the different conditions covered by IMCI, and counselling.
