PMTCT CHALLENGE; Uganda
PROVEN INTERVENTION TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Retention in care and adherence to anti-retroviral treatment for people living with HIV
Learn more about the PMTCT Challenge and how increasing completion of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to prevent mother to child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV can decrease HIV rates and improve lives.
DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
Waves of Resilience hopes to build strong community-led PMTCT service delivery systems.
Waves of Resilience will pilot the community group antenatal care model (CG-ANC) to mitigate the challenges created by the geographical barrier in the Buvuma Islands.
Using this model, pregnant and breastfeeding women (PBFW) will be supported to form motherhood clubs within their communities to enhance ANC attendance, psychosocial support, and increase access to integrated HIV, maternal and child health services.
To build and strengthen community support systems, distribution channels and linkages, they will use an integrated approach, leveraging and blending the influence of Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) with the efforts of Community Peer Supporters (CPS) and Health facility linkage facilitators (FLF). Community-led models are sustainable and cost-effective.
