Before 2010, a Zimbabwean baby born to a mother living with HIV had a one in four chance of becoming infected. In 2014, the odds had fallen to one in fifteen. During this period Zimbabwe made huge progress in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) with strong support from EGPAF. The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) became committed to this journey in 2001 and was the Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Health and Child Care’s (MOHCC) most supportive ally in its gains toward elimination of mother-to-child HIV transmission. To date EGPAF Zimbabwe has implemented multiple projects in support of the PMTCT program and to maintain the gains made to date.
