🌟 Historic milestone for HIV prevention in Europe!
Denmark has become the first country in the European Union to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis, ensuring babies are born free from these infections.
This achievement was made possible through:
✅ Strong political commitment
✅ Universal access to prenatal care and testing
✅ Integrated maternal and child health services
✅ Respect for women’s rights and robust data systems
Denmark’s success shows that with the right policies and high-quality healthcare, EMTCT (Elimination of Mother-to-Child Transmission) is possible. Other countries now have a model to follow as they work toward protecting every child.
