The adoption of IMCI in two districts of Tanzania five years ago has contributed to a significant decline in child mortality rates. Use of health facilities by children in these districts has increased greatly during the same period and health workers ’performance has improved. The international health medical community is now tracking with great interest the longer-term impact this will have on child survival rates in Tanzania and elsewhere. Further information on IMCI and the Multicountry Evaluation of IMCI can be found at http://www.who.int/imci-mce/.
EXTENDED BIBLIOGRAPHY Fixing Health Systems@ 2004-09-02 IDRC PROJECT REPORTS Fixing Health Systems@ 2004-08-27 The TEHIP ‘Spark’: Planning and Managing Health Resources at the District Level@ Stephanie Neilson and Terry Smutylo 2004-04-22 A case study by IDRC’s Evaluation Unit details how TEHIP has influenced public policy and decision-making in Tanzania’s health sector. The study also illustrates some of the challenges associated with sustaining the project’s achievements. Open file CASE STUDY: Treating the Whole Child 2004 The integrated management of childhood illness tackles high rates of child mortality Open file FIXING HEALTH SYSTEMS / 3. The results@ 2004 New means of planning lead district health teams to budget more proportionally to address major contributors to mortality such as malaria and a cluster of childhood illnesses. Effectively addressing those problems, however, requires that a modest funding top-up be applied to increasing capacity within the health system. This allows for better training, more effective deployment of resources such as drugs, better clinical practice, and increased patient satisfaction. The overall result is a dramatic decline in mortality in the two districts.
