Final outcome of PMTCT

Percentage of HIV-exposed infants whose final outcome status is unknown

What it measures / Ce qui est mesuré / Qué mide / Что он измеряет

This indicator measures quality of programme follow-up to track exposed infants and ascertain final status.

Rationale / Fondement / Justificación / Обоснование

Effective PMTCT programmes must follow HIV-exposed infants until the end of the breastfeeding period to ensure that the full cascade of services and support is provided to HIV-positive mothers and their infants.
The ability to ascertain final outcome status through routine programme data across multiple points of care is a key challenge.
