Although Kenya continues to make progress in its fight against HIV/AIDS, there are still challenges that must be faced to stem the transmission of this deadly disease. We have implemented the HITSystem in numerous hospitals across the country in partnership with the Kenya Ministry of Health and Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI). This innovative intervention is playing a comprehensive role in improving the health outcomes of women and children affected by HIV/AIDS.
