Vertical transmission of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) from mother to child is a significant concern for newborn health, prompting international organizations to focus on preventing this mode of transmission.
Dr. Ali Al-Gharabli, a health policy specialist at the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) in Jordan, moderated a session during the second national conference on HIV and reproductive health.
Director of Communicable Diseases at the Ministry of Health, Hadeel Al-Sayeh, emphasized that the ministry provides 70 percent of primary healthcare services in Jordan, delivered through 630 health centers and 18 hospitals. A national team has been established to integrate HIV services with reproductive health.
