The prevalence of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B among pregnant women has consistently remained below the Ministry of Health's target for four years. Despite this, there are a lot of targets, and the indicator EMTCT process has yet to reach the WHO target. The challenges for each district in reaching the WHO target include providing syphilis and hepatitis B reagents and benzatine penicillin; increasing private sector involvement; and strengthening information systems, policies, and guidelines for the management of hepatitis B among pregnant women in line with WHO recommendations to achieve EMTCT.
