Tanzania launches the national strategic plan to integrate health sector HIV, viral hepatitis and STI elimination

Dar es salaam- Tanzania has launched the Integrated Health Sector HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s) National Strategic Plan (NSP) to contribute to ending the three epidemics by 2030. Statistics show that Tanzania has about 1.7 million people living with HIV (PLHIV) and over 2 million people infected by viral hepatitis B and C. Currently, there is limited funding to tackle viral hepatitis. Similarly, STIs are on the increase and there are also limited resources to diagnose and treat all STIs.
