Critical evaluation of the venereal disease control campaign in Poland 1970-76.

A comprehensive campaign to control venereal diseases was undertaken in Poland in 1970. During the eight-year period of the campaign a significant decrease in the morbidity rate of gonorrhoea and syphilis was achieved. The number of cases of primary and secondary syphilis decreased by 85% and the number of cases of gonorrhoea by 30%. This paper presents the main guidelines of the campaign and a critical evaluation of the various epidemiological methods applied, such as mass screening for syphilis and gonorrhoea, epidemiological treatment, contact-tracing, improvement of treatment methods, improvement of methods of health education, and training of physicians and laboratory staff in venereology.

The functions of this Institute are described and the organization of undergraduate and postgraduate medical training is outlined.
