The linkages with other agencies and facilities have widened the opportunityto integrate SRH and HIV through the PMTCT services. PMTCT is included in thenational medical standard for reproductive health (2009) and also in the SBA trainingpackage. A series of joint workshops were organized to move forward the programalignment with FHD/CHD/NPHL at implementation level.The PMTCT programme, however, face challenges as the health care system in thecountry need to be strengthened to integrate both SRH and HIV within the generalhealth services. It is also important to scale up the PMTCT services across the countryby increasing access to HIV testing and VDRL testing to all women, including MARPs.Guidelines and protocols have been updated to meet the standard. In addition, trainingpackages for different level of health work force as part of health system strengtheningto provide one stop service is under implementation.Model of PMTCT Services in NepalIntroduction ⅵ (e)
