Global Validation of Elimination of Mother-to Child Transmission (EMTCT) of HIV and Syphilis
Validation process
In 2014, WHO's HIV and Reproductive Health and Research (RHR) departments in collaboration with UNAIDS, UNICEF and UNFPA, published the Guidance on global processes and criteria for validation of elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis. Since then, eleven countries have been validated for EMTCT of HIV and/or syphilis and all regions have established validation structures to support EMTCT. Two regions have now committed to the triple elimination of MTCT of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B (WPRO, PAHO)
