| Background on Prevention of Mother-to-child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) Programmes Of the 33.2 million people living with HIV worldwide at the end of 2007, 2.5 million were children under the age of 15 years. In 2007 alone, 420,000 children were newly infected with HIV—about 1,150 new infections in children each day. The most frequent source of HIV infection in infants and children is transmission from mother-to-child during pregnancy, labour and delivery, or breastfeeding. Comprehensive programmes for prevention of mother- to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT)—including ARV therapy and prophylaxis—can significantly reduce the number of infants who are HIV-infected and promote better health for their mothers and families.

Inclusiveness of the Stakeholders in the Report Writing Process The compilation of this country report was done by a core group comprised of the NACA (National Advisory Committee on AIDS) Secretariat - MOH, technical advisers from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community and logistic facilitation from the UNAIDS office in Suva. The report process was preceded by a training on M&E, and establishment of the national M&E framework for the national HIV/AIDS strategies. The core group collected information through desk review, surveillance and survey reports, interviews with key persons, and a consultation workshop of NGOs where they focused on Part B of the NCPI1. The main stakeholders from government, civil society, and development agencies were brought together to review and endorse the UNGASS report in its entirety. Fiji’s Minister for Health, Women and Social Welfare was subsequently briefed and requested to sign the final document. Download this publication |
