Print-FriendlyKenya Working to Integrate PMTCT Services Into Maternal, Child Health Care Clinics
December 20, 2012
"Health programs integrating services for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV into regular maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) clinics, rather than operating PMTCT services as stand-along programs, are showing positive results in Kenya, experts say," PlusNews reports. "Some 13,000 Kenyan children contract HIV annually; the country is among some 22 nations accounting for 90 percent of all pregnant women living with HIV," according to the news service. PlusNews examines how "[t]he government is now moving towards the integration of HIV and other public health services, part of efforts to strengthen the overall health system," in order to reach its goal of eliminating mother-to-child HIV transmission by 2015 (12/19).
