Rural Nodes<br />
Nevirapine coverage in the rural nodes varied widely from 14% in Alfred<br />
Nzo district of the Eastern Cape to 88% in Umkhanyakude district of<br />
KwaZulu-Natal. None of the rural node districts in the Eastern Cape or Free<br />
State achieved a nevirapine coverage above 50%. Overall the nevirapine<br />
coverage for the 12 rural nodes was 49.4% which is lower than the national<br />
average of 61%. Coverage in these districts will need to be greatly improved<br />
in order to reach the target of the National Strategic Plan.<br />

Change in nevirapine coverage to HIV+ve women<br />
Nevirapine coverage has increased overall between 2005/06 and <strong>2006</strong>/<strong>07</strong> from 52% to 61%. The<br />
largest improvements were seen in Gauteng and the Northern Cape. Furthermore all districts in the<br />
North West and Mpumalanga achieved increases in coverage. The large decreases in coverage in two<br />
Eastern Cape districts (Nelson Mandela Bay Metro and Amathole) are likely to be due to poor data<br />
quality in 2005/06, where both districts had coverage rates above 90%, rather than true decreases<br />
