A new report examining the landscape of tools and interventions for preventing mother-to-child transmission, also known as vertical transmission, of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B and Chagas, identifies several actionable opportunities to accelerate progress toward global elimination goals.
The report analyzes current challenges in eliminating this important route of transmission and outlines a number of new, emerging, or underutilized products and interventions that could help expand access and overcome the public health and market challenges identified.
In addition, several service delivery innovations have the potential to facilitate more rapid, consistent, and equitable access to existing tools and strategies.

Expanding access to these innovative approaches and products as well as addressing product development gaps is critical to achieving the World Health Organization’s ‘Triple Elimination’ agenda, which seeks to encourage countries to pursue an integrated and coordinated approach to eliminating vertical transmission of HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and in countries where it is endemic Chagas disease.
