A clinical officer in the department of preventing mothers to child Transmission at Yambio State Hospital is urging pregnant women to always deliver in the hospital to avoid mother to child transmission of HIV/AIDS.
Joyce Hingbango Edward calls on mothers to consider the future generation by giving birth in the hospital and follow the necessary instructions from the medical personnel. Anisa Radio reports.
