Chinese Women to be Provided Free Diagnostic Tests for STDs

Submitted by Amit Pathania on Tue, 03/01/2011

According to a recent announcement made by the Chinese Ministry of Health, women

will be provided free tests to check them for syphilis, HIV and hepatitis B.

Apart from that, if the tests report positive results, the women will be

provided free treatment in hospitals to ensure that they do not transmit the

diseases o their children.

Talking about the latest initiative, the Deputy Director, of the National Center

for AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Disease Control and Prevention, Wang Ning,

said that this is the first policy that has been implemented across the nation

and will help in preventing the spread of diseases. The Chinese government will

end up spending a whopping $106 million on the project on an annual basis.

He added that the new policy will help in preventing the spread of conditions

from mothers to their children. He added various epidemics like syphilis will be

controlled with the help of the new initiative.

It needs to be kept in mind that data released by the Chinese Center for Disease

Control and Prevention had reported that seven in every 100,000 live births that

took place in 2003 involve the transmission of syphilis. The number increased to

57 cases per 100,000 births by the year 2008. Blame for the increased rate of

transmission was leveled on the lack of compulsory screening of pregnant women

for syphilis.
