Despite the HIV/AIDS status of the pregnant mothers, It is encouraging to note that most of them have been able to give birth to babies free from HIV and this was possible due to tremendous efforts from Kitovu Mobile staff and the network Community workers and Expert clients who worked tirelessly to sensitize the masses and to give the necessary support to those in need.
To date 69.2% are female clients enrolled ART and the Kitovu Mobile team is dedicated to paying frequent visits to the mothers to ensure that they receive antenatal care before giving birth and postnatal care to ensure the birth of healthy babies and the mother as well. With the help of their husbands we have encouraged the pregnant mothers to go for immunization as well as those that have delivered to take their babies for immunization.
It worth noting that the formerly trained mothers are now working as TOT to pass on the knowledge to other women pertaining taking care of their newly born babies and themselves regarding breast feeding and treatment. It is all a success as these mothers are now acting as a work force in the dissemination process. Kitovu Mobile nurses tirelessly visit the mothers at their meeting centers to ensure that they receive all the required treatment and counseling. It really gives hope as most of the mothers are committed to taking their drugs which promises healthy babies as well as the mother.
