Sexual Health / STDs
A press briefing to launch The Lancet’s sexual and reproductive health series will take place in London next Monday. The series highlights the global burden of ill health; every year, 340 million new patients acquire gonorrhoea, syphilis, chlamydia, or trichomonas, more than 120 million couples have an unmet need for contraception, 80 million women have unintended pregnancies, and an estimated 19 million women undergo unsafe abortions; 70 000 of them die as a result.
