Trends and guidelines in gonorrhea are changing in Canada – are you up to date?
Join this informative webinar, hosted by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), that will cover gonorrhea (GC) and AMR-gonorrhea (AMR-GC) trends and national guidelines.
Hear from PHAC speakers, including Dr. Andrea Chittle, Medical Advisor, who will walk through case studies to illustrate the latest national recommendations for GC screening and treatment, and Lillian Lourenço, Senior Epidemiologist, who will provide a data-driven look at how GC and AMR-GC are tracked across Canada, and summarize what the numbers are telling us now.
We will also share PHAC resources on sexually-transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) intended for public health professionals, clinicians and community-based organizations.
