An example of a continuum of care in action is the Reproductive and Child Health II (RCH II) program, which uses an integrated model of health care and focuses on women’s and children’s health from birth through adulthood. With the goal of improving reproductive and child health in India, RCH II concentrates on family planning and maternal, newborn, child, and adoles- cent health services. The program focuses on community participation and empowering people to play an active role in their reproductive health care. The newborn and child health package includes the integrated management of neonatal and childhood illness (IMNCI) strategy, immunization, skilled care at birth, and infant and young.
