This curriculum was adapted from the World Health Organization PMTCT Generic Training Package and the CHART Healthy Mothers and Babies curricula.  It will be used in training activities targeting nurses, midwives, physicians, social workers, counsellors and community health workers.  This curriculum package aims to increase knowledge and skills for the provision of optimal care to pregnant women, their babies and their families.

The Continuing Care for Mothers, Children, and Families Following Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) Programmes Module seeks to provide a Caribnbean approach to linking HIV-infected women and their families with ongoing HIV care, treatment, and support needs after participation in a national PMTCT programme.  The purpose of this module is to familiarize healthcare workers in PMTCT with the ongoing HIV care, treatment, and support needs of mothers and their families.  It reinforces referral and linkage systems and continuity of care for HIV-infected women and their families.  However, this module is not designed to prepare healthcare workers to deliver HIV treatment.

This resource package includes a video with an accompanying facilitator’s guide.  It was developed to educate Caribbean healthcare providers and to help curb the stigma and discrimination experienced by PLWHA in healthcare settings.  The video consists of a series of short "trigger" scenarios that include dramatized voices of healthcare workers (HCWs), patients, and community members, presenting different aspects of HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination in Caribbean healthcare settings.  This resource is designed for use during training and educational activities and will facilitate opportunities for discussion, analysis, behavioural and/or institutional change.  The video is available from the CHART Network in DVD format.  For more information on this resource and to request a copy contact the CHART Network at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
