IVBDV is an integrated approach to child health protection aimed at achieving an overall satisfactory state of health of the child as a whole. Integrated management of childhood illness is a strategy developed by the World Health Organization, based on evidence–based medicine, which, when applied correctly, reduces morbidity, mortality and disability, as well as improves the physical and mental development of children under 5 years of age. The strategy – “Integrated management of childhood diseases”, is based on a targeted assessment of the condition of a sick child.
