| dc.description.abstract | The retention in care is a serious pointer of achievement for the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission(PMTCT) care program. The level of retention of women under PMTCT care program at the different time points of the cascade of the elimination of mother to child transmission (EMTCT) cascade is critical to treatment outcomes. The current methods of measuring retention in care, at health facility level are reported to under-estimate overall retention since several women self-transfer to other facilities without being accounted for. Individual health facility retention is used in care assessment and no attention is paid to transfers. This policy memo provides information on the alternative courses of action that may be taken to mitigate this issue of retention in care, clearly stating the pros and cons of each course of action. It also gives a recommendation for the best course of action that should be taken. | en_US |
