In 2006,
CHAI signed an MOU with the Malawi government to strengthen health systems in
the most challenged districts, provide national support to HIV/AIDS drug
pricing and programmatic work, support the pilot and scale-up of prevention of
mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) initiatives, expand access to ART
for children, strengthen Malawi’s lab system, and scale up an integrated
nutrition program for children. CHAI’s support to Malawi has expanded to
include Human Resources for Health, Vaccines, and Health Financing.

CHAI’s new
eMTCT Program combines approaches that address both facility and
community-level barriers to access, retention and adherence to integrated
ART/PMTCT/MNCH services for HIV-positive mothers and their infants. The PRIME
Study in Mangochi and Salimadistricts,compares the impact and cost-effectiveness
of using mother-infant-pair (MIP) clinics in improving retention of
mother-infant pairs on PMTCT care and their quality of care. MIP clinics have
been found to improve uptake of high-quality care, by providing integrated HIV
and MNCH services under one roof, including education, counselling and
psychosocial support for HIV positive mothers. This program is seeking
operationally-focused and research oriented individuals to enable the research
findings in implementation of this program to inform the national eMTCT
strategy.
