Nevirapine pouch

Nevirapine is an antiretroviral that reduces risk of transmission of HIV from mother to child.  In many settings where women deliver at home, having the syrup on hand at the time of delivery is a challenge.  Building upon their Kenyan field staff's innovative approach to sending mothers home with a dose of nevirapine, Path developed a foil storage/carring pouch.  Health workers send home a single dose of nevirapine in the self-sealing pouch that includes instructions.  This innovation allows women in remote locations to stock the nevirapine for up to 2 months in advance.
