Integrated Management of Childhood Illness implementation in Nepal: understanding strategies, context, and outcomes.

Nepal's story shows that implementation strategies that are available across contexts were key to adopting and adapting IMCI and achieving outcomes including acceptability, effectiveness, and reach.
