Supporting Triple Elimination in Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste (STEPT)

Mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B is largely preventable through testing, treatment and vaccination at birth.

Dates:

2022 – Ongoing

Led by ASHM in collaboration with in-country partners, the STEPT project supports efforts to achieve the ‘triple elimination’ of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B via parent-to-child transmission in Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste.

STEPT:

  • Delivers training and knowledge exchange forums between countries
  • Provides training for health workers
  • Clinical mentoring at selected health facilities 
  • Strengthens existing monitoring and surveillance systems to promote quality reporting

STEPT is supported by the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).
