South Africa's National Strategic Plan (NSP) for HIV, TB, and STIs 2023-2028.

Loading player...
Sibongile Mofokeng and Thompson Mashakeni welcome Tracy Mahlangu from Social Development to discuss South Africa's National Strategic Plan (NSP) for HIV, TB, and STIs 2023-2028. This blueprint aims to eliminate these diseases as public health threats by 2030 through four interlinked goals: reducing barriers to services, ensuring equitable access, building resilient health systems, and fostering multi-sectoral partnerships. Key priorities include people-centered interventions, catch-up plans for testing/treatment targets (like 95-95-95 for HIV), addressing inequalities among adolescent girls, sex workers, and key populations, and integrating TB/HIV/STI responses with social protection. The NSP emphasizes innovation, community engagement, and alignment with global strategies to achieve optimal health outcomes nationwide.
