Early assessment of the implementation of a national programme for the prevention of mother‐to‐child transmission of HIV in Cameroon and the effects of staff training: a survey in 70 rural health care facilities

Abstract

Prevent Mother-To-Child Transmission programmes in settings such as rural Cameroon need to be adapted to the special needs of peripheral nurse-led clinics. Appropriate short training may considerably improve nurses' competence in PMTCT. Other important components are regular supervision and measures to guarantee supply of equipment in rural areas.
