55 CONCLUSIONS 53 55
56 1. Better clinical performance of staff trained in IMCI than those untrained IMCI training can improve quality of outpatient child care 2. Very low clinical performance of staff not trained in IMCI Issue of pre-service training standards 54
57 3. Weak health systems support elements Major constraint to delivery of quality child care services and IMCI implementation 55
58 RECOMMENDATIONS TO FURTHER IMPROVE OUTPATIENT CHILD HEALTH SERVICES 56
59 POLICY: EQUITABLE ACCESS TO DRUGS AND SERVICES Consideration should be given to protecting children below 2 years old, especially in poor families, by issuing a policy and establishing mechanisms to provide affordable drugs to them States should commit to making key drugs regularly available to the health facilities where IMCI-trained staff work, to make the most of the substantial investment placed in IMCI training 57
60 TRAINING: BASIC SKILLS AND SKILL REINFORCEMENT Consideration should be given to strengthening pre-service training curriculum of medical assistants and introducing the IMCI outpatient care approach as a way to develop basic skills The Federal level and States concerned should jointly plan to develop and commit adequate human resources to follow up visits after IMCI training, to conduct them on a timely basis and according to standard methodology 58
61 SUPERVISION: MALARIA LABORATORY AND ROUTINE SUPERVISION Close supervision by Federal and State levels with quality control of malaria microscopic diagnosis should be carried out regularly to improve the quality of malaria laboratory diagnosis A training package on supervision of child health services should be developed. Supervisors responsible for routine supervision should be trained in child health supervisory skills and involved in IMCI follow-up visits 59
