_________________________________________________ PPTCT Fact Sheets for South Asian Countries Country-specific PPTCT Fact Sheets have been developed for all eight South Asian countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka). These serve as a baseline for monitoring country progress towards the elimination of new HIV infections and congenital syphilis. As part of the regional efforts towards elimination, a costing tool aimed at supporting countries to estimate the costs of eliminating new paediatric HIV infection and congenital syphilis was also developed. _____________________________________________________ eMTCT Costing tool
