Vast resources have been committed to the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV/AIDS. This brief urges PMTCT programs to safeguard their investments not just by preventing transmission of HIV but also by ensuring that newborns survive. Incorporating essential newborn care into PMTCT programs will help ensure that babies who escape HIV transmission do not die from infection, birth asphyxia, or other conditions that can be prevented and treated with simple, cost-effective interventions.
