Governments and UN agencies have failed to meet their international commitments and should be called to account. Despite the relative ease of delivering the antiretroviral prophylaxis to prevent vertical transmission progress has been slow, with global coverage rising from 9 percent in 2004 to 33 percent coverage in 2007. At least three quarters of HIV-positive pregnant women in 61 countries, including Cameroon, Ethiopia, India and Nigeria, are still not receiving this intervention. Moreover, it is not enough merely to ensure access to ARV prophylaxis. Quality is equally important, and in this regard too the options for women in poorer countries. | NIH Consensus Development Conference Statement on Vaginal Birth After Cesarean New Insights NIH Consensus and State-of-the-Science Statements Volume 27 Number 3 March 8-10 2010 NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH Office of the Director About the NIH Consensus Development Program National Institutes of Health NIH Consensus and State-of-the-Science Statements are prepared by independent panels of health professionals and public representatives on the basis of 1 the results of a systematic literature review prepared under contract with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality AHRQ 2 presentations by investigators working in areas relevant to the conference questions during a 2-day public session 3 questions and statements from conference attendees during open discussion periods that are part of the public session and 4 closed deliberations by the panel during the remainder of the second day and the morning of the third.
