Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The elimination of sexually transmitted infections (STI), a major public health concern, is a critical milestone in the achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and other health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
To achieve these ambitious targets, monitoring and evaluating the framework of UHC with accessibility, affordability, and availability of STI prevention and treatment services are key to supporting government and policymakers in timely adaptation of national policies and programs.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date evidence-based information on the current progress of global STI control and management, monitoring and evaluating the equity and sustainability of STI prevention and treatment services and other dimensions of the UHC framework, including financial protection for using STI services.
We are seeking submissions of original research on STI epidemiology, economic evaluation, and inequality analysis. Solid brief reports, systematic reviews, clinical studies, and research protocols are also welcome.
