Development of a Model for National Scale-up of the Pratt Pouch to Expand Infant Nevirapine Prophylaxis in Uganda, Prevent Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV, and Save Infant Lives.

Through the Saving Lives at Birth Initiative, EGPAF, the Ugandan Ministry of Health and Pratt Pouch Consulting will introduce and scale-up the Pratt Pouch in antenatal care, delivery, and post-natal care facilities throughout the country.

This project aims to reach 40,000 HIV-exposed infants in up to 20 districts to decrease the HIV infection rates among infants at 6 to 8 weeks of age.
