For every child, [insert tagline]

Chad is one of the four priority countries in Central and West Africa; with Côte d'Ivoire, Togo and CAR, which need strategies to accelerate pediatric HIV care to fill the gaps in ARV treatment for children. Indeed, although the prevalence dropped from 3.3% to 1.6% between 2005 and 2016; Chad still remains in a generalized epidemic. According to the Spectrum, out of the 110, 000 PLHIV expected in 2017, 51, 868 HIV-infected patients are on ART or 47.15% of whom only 2082 children under 14 are on ARVs; 4% of the active queue. The total number of children infected with HIV is estimated at 12, 000, the 2082 children on ARV treatment represent only 18% while pregnant women on ARVs increased from 12% in 2014 to 70% (5273/7500) by the end of 2017. Children are very poorly identified and cared for as statistics show that half of HIV-infected children die before their second birthday when they are not treated with ARVs. Multiple bottlenecks hinder the achievement of results. Among these we can mention among others: -The weakness in the organization of care structures, the planning and monitoring of activities, - The inappropriate collection tools that do not take into account the age of all children -The weakness in the collection and reporting of data on children-The weakness in the system of supply of inputs, -The weakness of human resources in quantity and quality, in pediatric care -The weakness in early diagnosis and screening at other gateways and care for children, -The weakness in the demand and supply of community screening, -The difficulties in the identification of children in the context of stigma and discrimination of people living with HIV and AIDS, especially mothers of children; - cultural constraints that limit antenatal care, assisted delivery and postnatal consultation; opportunities for contact with the mother-child-couple The weak integration of the results of the activities of the private and faith-based structures, the MNCH services and the community. Without a drastic change in the current strategies of the care of the children, there will be no significant improvement in indicators or improvements in reducing the mortality and morbidity of children affected and infected with HIV. The graph below shows the significant gap in the screening and care of children.Sources: PSLS / IST database coupled with EPP / Spectrum_ file 2017 By the end of 2017, only 2082 children under 14 years old are under treatment and gap to fill is 7638. This figure could be underestimated because the data collection circuit takes very little into account the data of private and faith-based structures on the one hand, but also the collection in public FOSA accuses weaknesses due to lack of appropriate collection tools and limited capacity.
