Assessment of knowledge levels of Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood illness among health care providers working in round the clock PHCs
Introduction:
The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) programme emphasizes institutional deliveries for all pregnant women as a means to bring down maternal and neonatal deaths. In order to provide quality health care to women who deliver at the PHCs, training the health care providers in safe delivery and newborn care is crucial. In order to address reduction in neonatal mortality and incorporate inexpensive and effective interventions within the existing child survival programmes, India’s Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses IMCI Adaptation Committee developed the Integrated Management of Neonatal, Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI) Strategy. In the recent times, the IMNCI strategy has emerged as a promising approach to deal with Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) reduction. Three periods (gestation, delivery, and the neonatal period) have been identified as essential entry points for intervention in order to reduce Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR). The neonatal period was chosen as the focus for IMNCI intervention as gestation and delivery were already covered under the Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) programme and the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS). UNICEF introduced IMNCI as a pilot project in Medak district, Andhra Pradesh in 2007 with an objective to expand to other parts of the state in a phased manner. The infant mortality rate (IMR) of Medak district was 65 per 1000 live births in the year 2007 (Baseline survey on RCH II, Andhra Pradesh, 2007), way below the target 30 per 1000 live births by 2010 (Millennium Development Goal, 2000). In order to enhance the knowledge and skills of health care providers regarding essential newborn care to bring about an overall reduction in IMR, IMNCI training was conducted for health care providers in Medak district.
