Overview
Sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) continue to be a significant public health concern in Saskatchewan, with rising rates of syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and hepatitis C. Saskatchewan consistently reports some of the highest rates of STBBIs in Canada. These trends reflect ongoing challenges related to timely testing, early diagnosis, treatment adherence, and prevention.
In response, the STBBI Treatment Education Program for Saskatchewan (STEPS) was created to provide free, accessible, continuing medical education and supports for healthcare providers.
STEPS is possible from an unrestricted educational grant from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health.
