CMMB Healthcare: Born to Live

What We Do > Healthcare Programs > Born to Live

CMMB

This program reduces the risk of transmission of the HIV virus, and expands the availability of antiretroviral drug therapies for HIV-positive mothers and their afflicted children. Born to Live clinics are active today in Haiti, India, Kenya, Papua New Guinea, and Swaziland. The program combines voluntary counseling and testing of expectant mothers with administration of the drug nevirapine prior to and following delivery, to help prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV.

Many Born to Live clinics are operating within hospitals and other facilities operated by CMMB’s faith-based partners, including the Kenya Episcopal Conference, the Christian Health Association of Kenya, the Catholic National Secretariat of Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India and the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
