PERAN WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION DALAM MENGATASI MOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSION HIV DI BOTSWANA 2010-2021
This study discusses the role of the World Health Organization (WHO) in addressing mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV in Botswana in the period 2010–2021. Botswana is one of the countries with the highest HIV prevalence rates in the world, making MTCT a critical public health issue. WHO has played an important role through its functions as a facilitator, forum, and actor. The organization assists Botswana by providing antiretroviral therapy (ART), training of health workers, and evidence-based policies such as option B+. The results of the study show that the MTCT rate in Botswana has decreased significantly, from 22% in 2010 to 11% in 2021. This decline is supported by close collaboration between WHO and the Botswana government, as well as innovative health policy adaptations. However, challenges such as social stigma and barriers to access to health in rural areas still require further attention. This study provides strategic recommendations to improve the effectiveness of future MTCT prevention programs, including empowering women and strengthening health service infrastructure.
