PPTCT Sensitization programme for Govt. MO's at Muzaffarpur and Patna

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

Intensive sensitization programme on PPTCT ( ITCT) was conducted for the Govt.

Medical Officers of Muzaffarpur and Patna District. The programme was organised

by MAMTA ( Delhi Based NGO ) in collaboration with their local network partners

with grants from American India Foundation (AIF). We from RATNEI, IHO

also participated and fecilitated the programme.

Doctor's list were provided by the respective Civil Surgeon.

Regional Deputy Director, Tirhut, Dr Narayan Pandit and Civil Surgeon,

Muzaffarpur, Dr Biltu Paswan were very appreciative of this kind of training

programme.

I believe that more such type of trainings and refresher trainings are needed to

make MO's aware about the programme and integration of Safe Motherhood programme

with PPTCT programme as the existing knowledge level was far beyond

satisfactory- may be due to various reasons like overoccupation with other

programmes/ administrative work like Polio or lack of opportunity to upgrade

their knowledge base for existing HIV AIDS programme.

With Regards,
