Barriers and facilitators for preventing mother-to-child transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi and hepatitis B in the Gran Chaco region: a qualitative analysis using the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR)
Implementing the EMTCT Plus Framework improved access to quality ANC in the study area. Nevertheless, continuous follow-up for T. cruzi screening and treatment for post-delivery remains challenging. To improve access to healthcare and ensure the sustainability of the intervention, an intercultural approach that empowers the community, alongside efforts to strengthen the local health system, is recommended.
