We aim to eliminate deaths and disease from congenital syphilis

About

THE PROBLEM

140,000
stillbirths

Every year congenital syphilis causes 140,000 stillbirths and 60,000 newborn deaths - this is entirely preventable.

60,000
newborn
deaths

Syphilis testing rates of mothers in low- and middle-income countries are low, with only 54% of pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa tested, despite cost-effective tests and treatment.

THE SOLUTION

We support countries to screen pregnant women with rapid Syphilis/HIV dual tests, and treat syphilis-positive women with penicillin.

Treatment is very effective - Treating a pregnant woman leads to:

  • 97% reduced risk of passing syphilis on to newborns

  • 82% reduced risk of stillbirth

  • 82% reduced risk of newborn death
