From Diagnostics to Delivery: Powering integrated elimination of vertical transmission through strengthened ante- and postnatal care, community leadership, and sustainable markets

Session Information

Despite strong political commitments, enabling normative guidelines, and promising approaches, HIV, syphilis, HBV, Chagas, and malaria combined remains the leading cause of preventable stillbirth and child mortality due to fragmented health systems and limited service access. This interactive session will explore: 1) service delivery innovations for differentiated and integrated disease management to increase early prevention and diagnosis of these diseases during pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding, including the potential for multiplex diagnostics and true point-of-care molecular platforms to speed diagnosis and decision-making; 2) the essential role of communities in driving quality of care through community-led monitoring; and 3) the critical importance of approaches that enable consistent and affordable availability of preventative tools, like lenacapavir, intermittent preventive treatment for malaria in children (IPTc), and hepatitis B birth dose in both facility and out-of-facility settings.
