Abstract

Prevention of Mother-to-Child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV is a global
response to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. The goal
of this study was to assess the services and materials available for the
PMTCT Programme in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. The study design was
a descriptive cross-sectional survey of all the health facilities providing
comprehensive services for PMTCT of HIV in Benin City. Data was
collected using an observational checklist. All seven PMTCT facilities
studied met the minimum service requirements for PMTCT sites. Majority
(71.4%) of the sites had good availability of both services and materials for
the PMTCT programme. Provision of information management technology,
prevention of ART drug stock outs, with prompt dissemination of PMTCT
Guidelines and appropriate registers, at the sites, will promote utilization
and the sustainability of quality PMTCT services.
