Assessment reveals improved syphilis screening rates in an outpatient clinic during an outbreak, suggesting effective policy action.
After implementation of a facility-based annual syphilis screening policy for those aged 13 to 64 years, screening coverage for syphilis increased nearly 60% and over 350 cases of syphilis were identified during a syphilis outbreak in the community. In this outbreak setting, increased screening facilitated case finding and represents an important component of overall outbreak response efforts.
