Join us for an exciting and informative episode as we dive deep into the critical issue of syphilis in pregnancy with experts, Roisin and Emma, from the Women's Health Research Institutes, Reproductive Infectious Disease Team. In recent years, Canada has seen a troubling rise in syphilis cases, particularly among those of reproductive age, leading to serious health implications for pregnant people and their newborns.
In this episode, we’ll explore epidemiological trends, learn about the impact of untreated syphilis on fetal health, and understand the urgent need for increased awareness and testing. Further, we will discuss the challenges faced by healthcare providers, the importance of timely screening during prenatal care, and the barriers that marginalized populations encounter in accessing vital health services.
Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a student, or someone interested in women’s health issues, this conversation will provide valuable insights into preventing congenital syphilis and promoting better health outcomes for mothers and their babies. Tune in to learn how we can all contribute to combating this public health challenge!
