For many years venereal diseases have been a major problem in Greenland. Since the early 1950s gonorrhoea has been widely prevalent; in the middle of the 1960s the incidence increased rapidly. Since the early 1970s syphilis has become widespread in the population, and in 1977 an epidemic of chancroid occurred. The high figures for venereal diseases are basically due to the social change towards a modern industrial society. Improvements in the health services could be made by encouraging health education on venereal diseases, training Greenlander health personnel, and appointing a venereologist.
多年来，性病一直是格陵兰的一个主要问题。自20世纪50年代初以来，淋病广泛流行；20世纪60年代中期发病率迅速上升。自20世纪70年代初以来，梅毒在人群中广泛传播，1977年发生了软下疳流行。性病高发的根本原因是社会向现代工业社会的转变。可以通过鼓励开展性病健康教育、培训格陵兰卫生人员以及任命一名性病学家来改善卫生服务。
