Despite widespread declines in child mortality rates in recent years,an estimated 6.3 million children below 5 years still die each year,many from preventable, treatable diseases including pneumonia (15% of deaths), diarrhoea (9%) and malaria (7%) (You, Hug et al.2014). Integrated community case management of childhood illness (iCCM) is an evidence-based
strategy to provide life-saving curative care for these diseases to children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), using health workers at the community level (Young et al. 2012)
