The HITSystem continues to play a vital role in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV by enhancing follow-up and supporting the full continuum of care. Over the past quarter, GHI has sustained national, county, and facility-level engagements to encourage wider adoption of the platform.

These engagements have highlighted HITSystem’s strength in ensuring timely reminders, improved data use, and accountability in the PMTCT cascade. By linking mothers, infants, and healthcare providers across facilities, the system not only improves retention in care but also ensures that no patient is lost in transition from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up.

Through these collaborative efforts, HITSystem remains an anchor in strengthening Kenya’s HIV response, demonstrating how digital health tools can deliver practical, lasting impact in maternal and child health.
