Global HIV Programme
The WHO Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections Programmes leads the development and implementation of the global health sector strategy on the elimination of HIV as a public health threat.
Strategic Information
Data helps to focus and guide public health interventions, both globally and in countries, to improve the delivery of health services to all people. The WHO Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections (HHS) programme focuses on people-centred data to improve prevention, testing and treatment services.
WHO provides global reports; collects and validates data with partners through the Global AIDS Monitoring mechanism; and develops guidelines for strategic information, case surveillance, patient monitoring, digital health and data use. The strategic information team works with regions and countries to strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems, which are a key building block in country health systems.
