While routine antenatal STI screening is adopted in many high-income countries, there remain significant gaps in detection and treatment throughout the Global South, including in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Widespread conflict in this region has resulted in the protracted displacement of millions of women who may consequently experience poor sexual and reproductive health.
