    Study Notes

    The text provides information on the key features of pediatric healthcare in less-resourced centers. While infectious diseases are still the most significant cause of illness, non-communicable diseases are becoming increasingly important. Health systems need to be strengthened to provide effective care, and immunizations have been effective in reducing mortality. The Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) strategy aims to improve case-management skills of health workers and provide appropriate therapies and referral chains. Preventive care is also important, including antenatal care, expanded programs for immunization, and prophylactic cotrimoxazole for HIV-positive children. The Sustainable Development Goals aim to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all people at all ages.
