As part of efforts to reduce mother-to-child transmission and eliminate HIV/AIDs in the country, the Nigerian government is scaling up the implementation of early testing and treatments for exposed infants.
The Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Tunji Alausa, said the government will also be providing high-quality treatment and care for children, and adolescents living with HIV.
The minister disclosed this at the inauguration of the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) and Paediatric AIDS Acceleration Plan Committee organised by the National Agency for the Control of Aids (NACA), in Abuja on Thursday.
