Abstract

The article focuses on the improvement of HIV care and related services to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV/AIDS in eastern Rwanda. It suggests designing targeted disease-specific programs to have an impact on associated nontargeted services to maximize the health value given to families. It emphasizes that methods for quality improvement can be effective tools to engage local health workers and target limited resources investment to maximize services improvement.
