Table 4 Status of adoption and implementation of WHO recommendations for the case management of PSBI in Bangladesh
Status of compliance with WHO recommendations | Influential factors |
|---|---|
Health and Family Welfare Centers and Union sub-Centres identified as the service delivery point for outpatient case management of PSBI by the HSPs when referral to a hospital is not feasible | Evidence on case management of PSBI using amoxicillin drops and intramuscular gentamycin generated from the pilot program through partnership with Save the Children |
Amoxicillin DT included in OP of MNC&AH under DGHS as an alternative to pediatric drops but is not mentioned in the treatment table of the CNCP training manual | Members of the Bangladesh Pediatric Association and HSPs are unwilling to use amoxicillin DT instead of drops due to lack of operational research |
