Playing the catch-up game: Accelerating the scale-up of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services to eliminate new pediatric HIV infection in Nigeria

This paper documents approaches, experiences and lessons learned in expanding access to prevention of mother-to-child transmission services in Nigeria. While there may be no single pathway to ensure coverage of health services, the paper shows that planning based on collection and dissemination of local data, broad engagement with all stakeholders and evidence-based expansion are essential to rapidly closing existing coverage gaps.
