Sexually Transmitted Disease Syndromic Case Management Through Public Sector Facilities
Development and Assessment Study in Punjab Pakistan
Abstract
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a priority health problem. We proposed a prospective study in two districts of Punjab, using an intervention package, which included guidelines and protocols on syndrome-based management of STIs, adapted in light of technical guidelines from the National AIDS Control Program and the World Health Organization.
The aim of this study was to assess the operational effectiveness of STI case management guidelines and to assess factors that determine the adherence to guidelines for management of STIs at public health facilities in Pakistan.
This research is supported by the Department for International Development’s COMDIS Programme.
