Mate KS, Bennett B, Mphatswe W, Barker P, Rollins N. Challenges for routine health system data management in a large public programme to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission in South Africa. PLoS ONE. 2009 May;4(5)e5483. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0005483.

Obtaining complete and accurate data from clinical sites presents a major challenge for tracking the progress of South Africa's efforts to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. This paper assesses the completeness and accuracy of routine PMTCT data submitted to the district health information system in three districts of Kwazulu-Natal province, South Africa.
