Cambodia IMCI Course...learning how to care for children under the age of 5 yrs





Our students learned to classify each child’s health condition using a color coded IMCI (Integrated Management of Childhood Illness) chart as follows:

RED: Very serious condition—refer the patient to the Health Care Center or Hospital immediately
YELLOW: Less serious condition, may need treatment and education in the clinic. Requires follow-up in the clinic.
GREEN: Can be educated in the clinic and begin treatment at home
