Baseline Assessment Tools for Preventing Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) Of HIV

Now that there are cheap and effective interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT), programs are rapidly being planned and introduced to make these activities more widely available in developing countries. Implementing these programs requires understanding the quality and scope of existing MCH and maternity care services, as well as effective, continual monitoring and evaluation. The present assessments tools are designed to respond to this need.
