Ireland: Antiretroviral therapy coverage for PMTCT (% of pregnant women living with HIV)

Key figures

Over five years it is unchanged since 2019. Since 2000 it is up 10 percentage points from 90% in 2000. The World Bank has no value for 6 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

How it compares

In 2024, Ireland had the 1st highest value of the 76 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
