WHO and HHS/CDC Prevention of Mother-to-Child
Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) Generic Training Package |
|
|
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States Department of
Health and Human Services-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC)
have collaborated to develop the Prevention of Mother-to-Child
Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) Generic Training Package. Recognizing that
building human capacity requires collaboration at multiple levels and
across organizations, the curriculum is designed to support the scale up
of PMTCT services and assist in unifying and strengthening existing
PMTCT training efforts. |
The curriculum is a comprehensive,
evidence-based generic PMTCT training course that was field tested in
Guyana,
Ethiopia,
Cambodia and
Mozambique. It is intended to be adapted
to include the policies, guidelines and reality of the specific country
setting. The components of the generic curriculum are as follows:
