Background:
Consultancy to provide technical assistance/mentorship to support Sudan National RH Program in the implementation of the PMTCT Program
PMTCT is responsible for more than 90% of pediatric HIV infection. In the absence of any intervention, the transmission rate is as high as 20% to 45% and, approximately 50% of all HIV exposed infants will die before reaching their second year of life. Current national protocol reduces MTCT to less than 4%.
The number of health facilities providing prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV services increased from 110 in 2012 to around 400 sites in 2016.
Justification
Current Sudan National AIDS Program (SNAP) strategy plan for 2010 -2014 is to reduce the proportion of infants born to HIV +ve mothers who are infected by HIV through strengthening of the PMTCT program. The RH program would like to recruit a consultant to provide technical support/mentoring to the national program in the implementation of the PMTCT plan in the states specifically the states with high HIV prevalence. The expertise of the consultant/mentor is needed as the capacity in the states need to be strengthened and at the same time to ensure the integration of the HIV in SRH is in place. This consultancy is part of the HSS Global Fund approved budget. |
