Operations Research of the Mother Baby Pack (UNICEF)

Overview

The Mother-Baby Pack (MBP) is a take-home pre-packaged medicine pack to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV. With support from UNICEF, EGPAF conducted an evaluation of Lesotho’s MBP program to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and lessons learned through use of the packs and to identify barriers or potential harms associated with their use. Results from the MBP evaluation will have significant implications for the PMTCT of HIV program in Lesotho as well as globally, as other countries consider implementation of this innovative approach for PMTCT drug distribution.
