PMTCT

To maintain a continuum of care by reducing home from 14% to 0% by 2016
To equip communities with skills to address gender related issues on PMTCT four pillars that hinders them from access to education and health services by 2016
To increase access to treatment, care and support for 5000 children including those in congregate settings by 2016.
Considering the conservative nature of the target group, we have achieved significant reduction in home deliveries by training 77 former Traditional Birth Attendants to be PMTCT Champions.
