Introduction
iCCM is an approach that promotes utilisation of Community Health
Workers (CHWs) or designated Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) to take
health services as close to the family as possible. iCCM strategy is
implemented within existing community structures, which previously had
been developed for other programmes such as malaria prevention and
treatment for diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria, including prevention of
malnutrition. It is well advanced and has attracted global commitment
for increasing access to lifesaving interventions for sick under-five
children in developing countries thereby reducing mortality.
The course is written for use by professional health workers and community health workers. The content for this course was adopted from the Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) Facilitator ‘s Handbooks (2018).
