The Health ministry has launched a new diagnostic machine that will allow HIV-positive mothers to get test results for their unborn children in less than an hour compared to the current three months.
The device, called Alere HIV 1/2 Detect, is part of the government’s efforts to cut child mortality by ensuring early detection of the virus.
