A sub-optimal timely EID uptake was realized with 76% of the HEIs against the target of 90% timely receipt of 1st PCR.  Nearly three-quarter of the 1st PCR samples (73%, n=6001) were tested on the Mpima/AlereQ devices, and half of the samples tested at the general hospitals (50%, n=4151). Just over half (55%, n=4580) of infants tested were males and 71% of the infants accessed their test results within the same day of sample collection. The main entry point into care was the mother-baby (MBCP, 69% n=5709), followed by young child clinic (YCC, 23% n=5709). Linkage of the positive infants to care and treatment remained sub-optimal with 10% not linked within 1 week after receipt of results.
