Bungoma County has recorded a significant drop in HIV/AIDS mother-to-child transmissions from 14 per cent to 8 per cent over the past year.
The County HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections coordinator, Kennedy Bomji, attributed the achievement to close collaboration between the county government, healthcare workers and development partners.
Speaking during a ceremony to recognise 100 children who attained two years without contracting HIV despite being born to mothers living with the virus, Bomji said good partnership has improved prevention services for expectant mothers.
According to him, the partnership has pushed the county closer to its goal of eliminating mother-to-child HIV transmissions, whose theme is to end mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis, and Hepatitis B.
