Our work in Cameroon

Through our technical assistance, we’re supporting the Cameroonian government in implementing a dual HIV/syphilis test and syphilis treatment during routine prenatal care. We helped the government integrate the dual test in 2023, and then began scale-up in August 2024, with the aim of reaching over 580 facilities serving ~45% of pregnant women attending prenatal care services in 2025.

We’re targeting over 90% syphilis screening coverage and at least 70% treatment coverage by 2026. Our goal over the next decade is to support the government in reaching at least 7.7 million pregnant women with syphilis testing and at least 280,000 infected women with treatment, reducing newborn death and disability.
