In November 2006, NACO in partnership with the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI), UNICEF, and the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP), launched the National Pediatric HIV/AIDS Initiative with the aim of ensuring that each child living with HIV/AIDS (CLHA) receives high-quality care, treatment, and support. The Initiative sought to bring the level of access to treatment on par with that of adults and to address a large, unmet need of CLHAs requiring pediatric-specific ART formulations.

The Institute conducted an evaluation of the impact of the Program through data collection across 22 ART centres in 10 states: Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Delhi.

The report has been submitted.
