Department for HIV, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections
The WHO Department leads the global effort to end the epidemics of HIV, tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), ensuring that every person has equitable access to highest-quality people-centred scientific evidence and services, regardless of who they are or where they live.
Data help focus and guide public health interventions globally, within countries, locally, and where services are delivered to people. The WHO Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) Programmes focuses on people-centred data to improve prevention, testing and treatment services.
Strategic information drives effective public health action and planning, directing services and resources where they are needed. WHO coordinates:
- strategic information guidelines
- global reporting on HIV, viral hepatitis and STIs
- monitoring and evaluation systems
- standards and technical support to WHO regions and countries
- critically, the use of data to improve people-centred services.
