Life Long ART to Pregnant and Lactating Mothers (LLAPLa) – Roll-out
Guidance for the roll-‐out of LLAPLa (OpIon B+) Goal: � 100,000 HIV+ pregnant & Lacta+ng women on treatment by June 2014 Strategy: • All sites that see > 30 HIV+ Pregnant & Lacta+ng women per year
will be priori+zed • Regions priori+zed according to their HIV burden
The roll-out of LLAPLa
� Each of the regions were given specific target to reach for HIV posi+ve pregnant and lacta+ng mothers

o Phase 2: The remaining 16 regions started February 2014
The roll-out of LLAPLa • Circular was released by the Ministry to mark the start of LLAPLa
• Advocacy at na+onal, regional and district levels to authori+es
• Review of guidelines and Training package • Refresher training to PMTCT and CTC service providers
• Ader training follow up to all facili+es in+a+ng LLAPLa
Logistic and Supply • Forecas+ng, quan+fica+on was done using the agreed targets
• Procurement via VPP – Global fund • Smart push was done to all Health Facili+es ini+a+ng LLAPLa
Monitoring and Evaluation • Recording and repor+ng
• Harmoniza+on of ART tools (ART register, CTC 1 and CTC2 cards, etc) repor+ng as one
• The new integrated system is capturing both pregnant and lacta+ng women
• Established infant card that links the baby to the mother

Service Delivery • Nurses ini+ate ART at RCH clinic • Couple counseling is done at RCH clinic • HIV posi+ve male partner are enrolled into care and treatment
