Drawing from a base of 734 health facilities providing PMTCT services in Cote d’Ivoire this study utilized primary and secondary data from a randomly selected nationwide sample of 30 sites that had served at least 10 HIV-positive patients in 2011. At each of the 30 sites quantitative data were abstracted from available health facility registries for the period June 2011 to May 2012 and a sample of up to 20 patient charts of HIV-positive women (n=330) as well as from a sample of up to 20 mother-child vaccination booklets (carnets2) (n=590) per site. Qualitative data including semi-structured interviews with key informants and direct observations were recorded by seven two-person study teams over the course of two days at each facility. Data collection was carried out over a two-week period in March 2013. (excerpt)
