National Coordinator CMU and DNC HIV attended the two-day orientation session for National Prevention of Parent-to-Child Transmission (PPTCT)

The Ministry of National Health Services Regulation & Coordination (M/o NHSR&C) and the National AIDS control program (NACP-CMU), in collaboration with UNICEF and UNAIDS, organized a two-day orientation session for National Prevention of Parent-to-Child Transmission (PPTCT). The objective was to orient participants, including clinical and program managers with public health backgrounds, on key aspects of PPTCT and pediatric HIV management.
With support from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (GFATM) and partners, the Government of Pakistan has expanded the number of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) centers to 75 nationwide, enhancing geographic accessibility. However, the current challenge lies in the insufficient number of functional PPTCT sites (12) and Pediatric ART centers (20). To address this gap, there is an urgent need to strengthen existing PPTCT sites and establish new ones under a unified, one-stop-shop model.
