The report highlights the necessity for enhanced public health measures and improved prenatal care to tackle this growing concern. Health officials urge expectant mothers to undergo regular screening and treatment to prevent transmission. The increase in cases underscores the urgent need for community awareness and health interventions. DHS is committed to collaborating with healthcare providers to ensure better access to testing and education for at-risk populations. This troubling trend in Wisconsin aligns with national increases, prompting statewide efforts to reverse the rise of congenital syphilis.
