Description
Melaku Birhanu Alemu and co-authors report a study from two thousand twenty-four on HIV testing during pregnancy care in Ethiopia. Testing and counselling in antenatal care help prevent mothers passing HIV to their babies. Many women use the service, but the share who get good-quality care, called effective coverage, was not well measured.
The team linked a national household survey with a later survey of health facilities. They scored service quality from dozens of structural and process indicators. Only about seventeen percent of women received testing during antenatal visits, and effective coverage was lower still, near eleven percent. Gaps varied sharply by region, from very low in the Somali region to over half in Addis Ababa. The authors urge quality fixes.
