Background: Jhpiego is implementing a CDC-funded Prevention Project (PMTCT/HCT) in 12 hospitals in Nigeria. In this same hospital, Jhpiego is also implementing a USAID supported Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP). MCHIP services include focused antenatal care, maternal and child follow-up services, and family planning services while the PMTCT/HCT services include PMTCT interventions, community mobilization and outreach. Because of clients demand for access to PMTCT services at the same point as ANC-MCHIP services, these two separate projects were successfully integrated in all the sites. Methodology: Data for specific service indicators in the 12 facilities were captured one-year before and one-year after the integration of the PMTCT programs into the other existing maternal and child health programs and were compared.

Results: One-year before PMTCT integration, 36% of ANC clients had 4 or more ANC visits during their pregnancy in the 12 facilities but after integration the percentage increased to 86% (p<.001). In addition, before the integration, only 15% of clients were counseled and tested for HIV during their pregnancy but 73% after the integration (p<.001).Finally, 17% of clients accessed family planning services prior to integration but 63% after the integration accessed family planning services (p<.001). Conclusion: The results of the analysis before and after the integration of PMTCT services into MCHIP resulted in improved ANC attendance, an increase in counseling and testing for HIV during pregnancy, and increased uptake in family planning services. Integration allowed the clients to seek more services at one point of care in the same facilities.
