As part of the national PMTCT program, the NDOH recently issued the National Integrated Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV Accelerated Plan (A-Plan) which is based on a bottleneck analysis to fast track strengthening of the PMTCT program with an initial focus on 18 health districts in 24 months. The additional fund will be primarily used to support the A-Plan to increase over PMTCT cascade in these districts. We will work with WHO and UNICEF in supporting the NDOH in adapting and revising the PMTCT to rapidly achieve the NSP's goal of less than 5% MTCT rate. The government is expected to initiate implementation of these guidelines by 2010.
