Given the worrying trends in infant and child mortality rates, there is a clear need to assess current practices in the management of childhood illnesses and to identify opportunities for intervention. The 2004 Kenya Service Provision Assessment Survey (KSPA) findings indicate that most health care providers are not taking care of sick children holistically, but rather are treating children only for the presenting illness. Using data obtained from the 2004 KSPA, this study aims to establish the factors that are associated with the promotion of child health using a holistic approach, such as the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness strategy to manage a sick child.
