FIELD NOTE • HITSYSTEM

Keeping the next baby in care.

When health workers can see who is due for testing, treatment, or follow-up, fewer families disappear between visits. HITSystem combines patient tracking, reminders, and coordinated care to strengthen retention in PMTCT programmes across multiple counties.
