We tell you briefly what Chlamydia is

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD), which is contracted by having sex with a carrier of the disease. Chlamydia is more common among young people, so it is important that couples consult with a doctor. Chlamydia is easily treated and cured, however if the treatment is not performed correctly, the couple is exposed to serious health problems.

The symptoms of Chlamydia are:

• Vaginal discharge

• Burning when urinating

• Pain, blood or rectal discharge.

The General Director of the Hospital, Dr. Silvia Giménez, also attended the meeting and thanked the Foundation for its presence through the implementation of this project.
