Policy Analysis: Important for Improving iCCM Implementation; essential for success of global health efforts - (Kumanan Rasanathan, 2015)

This report focuses on integrated community case management (iCCM) policy development and implementation, the history of primary health care, and the role of community health workers (CHWs). iCCM, while supported by the existence of joint statements and normative guidelines, is not enacted in a vacuum. Its implementation is affected by the nature of existing health worker cadres and how iCCM services are delivered.
