By introducing pulse oximetry, with or without clinical decision support algorithms, to primary care facilities in India, Kenya, Senegal and Tanzania, the Tools for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (TIMCI) project aims to contribute to reducing morbidity and mortality for sick children under-five while supporting the rational and efficient use of diagnostics and medicines by healthcare providers. The multi-country, multi-method evaluation aims to generate evidence on the health and quality of care impact, operational priorities, cost and cost-effectiveness of introducing these tools to facilitate national and international decision-making on scale-up.
