Kaduna achieved 94.9% PBS coverage but VL Coverage remains 5.8 points below target (89.2%). TX_ML fell to 3.4% (from 3.7%), driven by strengthened tracing across Kaduna North and Chikun LGAs.
Prioritize focused clinical mentorship at the 5 flagged facilities in Sabon-Gari and Zaria GH clusters, and pair with sample transport audits before the next MER cycle to close the VL coverage gap.

Priority Actions — Next Reporting Cycle
Concrete steps for MEL and clinical teams
- Kaduna: Convene state-level performance review; target PMTCT and VL Coverage catch-up plan within 2 weeks.
- Igabi GH 6 (Kaduna): Emergency SIMS mentorship visit; validate TX_ML line list and MMD dispensing register.
- Sabon-Gari GH 5 (Kaduna): Emergency SIMS mentorship visit; validate TX_ML line list and MMD dispensing register.
- Sabon-Gari GH 1 (Kaduna): Emergency SIMS mentorship visit; validate TX_ML line list and MMD dispensing register.
- Roll out sample transport optimization to reduce VL turnaround from current baseline to ≤10 days.
- Escalate top 5 stock-out risks to LMCU; enforce redistribution across hubs.
- Publish best-practice brief from top-performing facilities for state-wide dissemination.
5 facilities in Kaduna below 90% VL Coverage — Sabon-Gari and Zaria clusters.
PMTCT sites require urgent clinical mentorship (Sabon-Gari PHC, Zaria GH).
3 LGAs (Zaria, Sabon-Gari, Chikun) show rising TX_ML trend over the last 3 months.
Sample rejection rate elevated at 4.2% (target ≤2%) — driven by 2 hub labs.
PBS coverage 94.9% — near target for the second consecutive quarter.
