In the context of a joint collaboration between the Zimbabwean Ministry of 
Health, the French Agency of Development (AFD) and the Institute of Public 
Health, Epidemiology and Development (ISPED) of the University Victor

of HIV (PMTCT) programme has initiated in March 2004 in two rural districts 
of Zimbabwe.

This programme aims to strengthen the institutional and operational capacity 
of the Zimbabwean government to prevent the spread and mitigate the 
consequences of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Among the main components of the programme are:

and simple antiretroviral prophylaxis for PMTCT, within existing mother and 
child health services in the targeted districts and health centres;

medical and psychosocial care for people living with HIV/AIDS within local 
communities, specifically families identified by the PMTCT programme.

and other programmes.
