A Review of UNICEF Experience with the Distribution of Free Infant Formula for Infants of HIV-Infected Mothers in Africa
Overview
This paper sets out to present the experiences with the procurement,
distribution and use of free formula in PMTCT programs. Most of the countries
in Africa that provided free formula did so with UNICEF support. Botswana and
South Africa used Government resources to procure and distribute the formula.
Experiences with the use of formula in UNICEF-supported programs and in South
Africa and Botswana will be presented and followed by suggested conditions for
the use of free formula. The future role of UNICEF in supporting PMTCT
programs that decide to provide free formula will also be considered.
