5 International commitments/Policy Framework
Millennium Development Goals 4, 5 and The Declaration of Commitment (UNGASS) in 2001 reductions of 20% and 50% in infants infected with HIV by 2005 and 2010 The Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission High Level Global Partners Forum held in December 2005 in Abuja, Nigeria achievement of an HIV and AIDS-free generation by 2015. The commitment by leaders of the G8 countries in 2005 universal access to treatment for all those who need it by 2010”. June 2006 High-Level Meeting on AIDS by United Nations Member States towards the “universal access to comprehensive prevention programmes, treatment, care and support” by 2010.

6 National Policies and Guidelines
The Health Sector Programme of Work 2007 – 2011 National Reproductive Health Service Policy and Standards The Under 5 Child Health Policy: 2007 – 2015 National Guidelines for Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV Early Infant HIV Diagnosis in Ghana: Guidelines and Protocol Guidelines for Antiretroviral Therapy in Ghana National Guidelines for the Development and Implementation of HIV Counselling and Testing in Ghana Guidelines for Management of Opportunistic Infections and other Related HIV Diseases Sexually Transmitted Infections: Guidelines for Management.

7 (UNAIDS): Virtual Elimination of MTCT by 2015
Mother-to-child transmission: 90% reduction of new infant infections <5% transmission; HIV-free survival: >90% of all infants born to women living with HIV alive and uninfected by age of 2 years; Treatment: > 80% of eligible pregnant women living with HIV receive ART for their own health; Family Planning (FP): 50% reduction in unmet need for FP across all women living with HIV; Primary prevention: 20% reduction in HIV incidence among women aged 15 – 24 years.

8 Vision & Goal Vision: “A generation free of HIV and AIDS in Ghana”
Goal: “Virtual elimination of HIV transmission from mother to child and improvement in the health of the family especially maternal, newborn and child health within the context of HIV in Ghana”

9 Guiding Principles Commitment: Govt leadership; commitment at all levels towards universal coverage of PMTCT services. Quality: Technical and Policy framework to optimize service delivery. Integration: with other HIV services as well as maternal, nutrition, newborn and child health programmes; decentralization. Equitable access: for all women and their families, including the most vulnerable due to gender disparities. Health systems: strengthening & utilization to improve service delivery. Monitoring: to track programme performance, outcomes and impact. Partnerships: at national, regional and district levels.

10 Main thrust Increasing availability and utilisation of the recommended package of services for PMTCT at more health facilities; Improving the comprehensiveness (four-strategic prongs) and integration with more one-stop service delivery points; Consolidating the quality of services provided based on the national guidelines and standards.

11 Four-pronged strategic approach
i) Primary prevention of HIV among women of reproductive age ii) Prevention of unintended pregnancies among women living with HIV iii) Prevention of HIV transmission from women living with HIV to their babies iv) Provision of appropriate treatment, care and support to mothers living with HIV and their families.

12 Objectives: By 2015 To increase utilisation of HIV and STI prevention services to 90% of the expected pregnant women in the country. To increase utilisation of family planning (FP) services by 90% of the HIV infected women and their partners who access clinical services. To increase utilisation of the standardised package for PMTCT to 90% of HIV infected pregnant and lactating women and their babies. To increase utilisation of comprehensive, family-centred HIV care and treatment to 90% of pregnant and lactating women identified under the PMTCT programme.
