Botswana stopped HIV passing from mom to baby — a big win for children’s health!
In Botswana, many babies are now born HIV‑free because the country offers free care for pregnant moms and effective medicines. With early check‑ups, antiretroviral treatments, and smart health tools, Botswana became the first high HIV‑burden nation to earn WHO “Gold Tier” certification for nearly stopping mother‑to‑child HIV transmission. This helps protect children and shows other countries what’s possible.
