Abstract:
:The organization of STI-control in the Netherlands is described. STIs represent a relatively modest health problem in the Netherlands. Chlamydia trachomatis is the most frequent STI. Recent reports show that STIs are on the rise again, especially amongst gay men. The general health system deals with STIs, the main professionals are: the general practitioners, public health nurses and dermatovenereologists. The larger cities have specific STI-clinics. Prevention is a cornerstone in Dutch STI-control. At a regional level, the municipal health services play a major role in policy and prevention. At a national level, several specific organizations are active. In general the STI-system is of good quality. Future attention is needed for the financial arrangement, surveillance and the rising incidence of STIs.
