Barriers to the implementation of programs for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV

This study examines potential barriers that might affect the acceptability of interventions for PMTCT in rural and urban settings.

Implementation of programs for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV faces a variety of barriers and challenges. The assessment of these challenges has generally been conducted in large urban health facilities.

As programs expand into rural areas, the potential barriers that may be encountered there also need to be assessed.
