Lesotho’s Minimum PMTCT Package: lessons learned for combating vertical HIV transmission using co-packaged medicines
Overview
This article features our analysis of a program to improve prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) adherence by implementing a package given to all pregnant women (some including only prenatal vitamins and other information – some including both prenatal and PMTCT drugs for women who tested HIV-positive during pregnancy). This program was rolled out in Lesotho. Our study examines feasibility of the package.
