The ANC and PMTCT performance across the country has been poor with 67% of pregnant women receiving ANC care from skilled birth attendants, 9% receive care from unskilled attendants while 24% do not receive any form of care. One of the identified challenges is suboptimal antenatal care visits during pregnancy where HIV testing services are provided. To address these challenges, NASCP is supporting states to scale up PMTCT services across the country. The PMTCT scale-plan aims to implement a minimum package of services across all states and additional demand creation services in 36+1 states that contribute the highest number of women who do not receive any form of care or receive care from informal service providers during pregnancy. The additional demand creation services are aimed at using information, education, and communication materials to drive demand for testing services for pregnant women. The aim is to target women of child-bearing age, recipients of care, social groups, traditional and religious leaders, and gate keepers in each LGA in all states. One of the key objectives of the PMTCT scale-up is to strengthen and ensure that quality PMTCT services are provided across all the service delivery points for pregnant women. In other to achieve this, development of job aids which will serve as an instructional document for the focal persons at the service delivery points to provide quality and effective PMTCT services to all pregnant women Justification Development of job aids will help address the challenges of forgetfulness and competence to the service providers on procedures involving multiple steps and increase quality, effective and timely PMTCT services provided to the pregnant women that access care at the facility Objective The objective of this concept is to strengthen and ensure that quality, effective and timely PMTCT services are provided across all the service delivery points for pregnant women.
