In most cases, gestational syphilis denotes a failure in prenatal care for the pregnant woman, both in terms of correct diagnosis and correct treatment.The functions of nursing in combating gestational and congenital syphilis go far beyond care and consultations. Nurses play an essential role in various stages of combating syphilis, from planning public policies to diagnosis and treatment.
