Mobile Laboratory for the Detection and Timely Treatment of STIs

The low detection and absence of timely treatment of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) due to geographical, and economic barriers and the lack of supplies in the health units, puts at risk the health of women and adolescents during pregnancy and childbirth, endangering the health of the newborn. STI detection and treatment are not delivered by the public health system. Only private health suppliers provide the service but costs are too high and just in the main cities of Honduras.
