The new ATUCU5 manual provides a holistic strategy in the case management of common childhood illnesses in primary care settings. It was developed by the Ministry of Health Malaysia and the World Health Organization to reduce preventable deaths due to substandard care from the conventional “single-condition approach”. We aim to introduce the ATUCU5 manual to undergraduate medical students during the remote teaching and learning (RTL) period and describe their understanding.
