Cameroon News: Eventhough HIV remains a critical public health problem in Cameroon with about more than 570,409 people infected, mother to child transmission was still a big challenge in 2010, but has now reduced considerably as new studies reveal. Credit to the interventions of the government's commitment to eliminate new HIV infections among children and to keep their mothers alive by 2015. Through support from UNICEF and other partners the government developed an evidence-informed plan aimed at MTCT elimination. And to eliminate MTCT UNICEF partners with civil society organizations to supplement community mobilization activities and supports capacity building of counsellors and staff for stronger counselling services in every District Maternity Hospital.
