| Popis: | Africa continues to be disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. Poor access to medical care, limited access to antiretroviral drugs, and lack of supportive care for persons who are symptomatic lead to disease progression. Community-based palliative care services are effective in providing supportive services throughout the course of the illness, but palliative care services are limited in Africa. This article presents a theoretical approach to developing community-based palliative care services to bridge this gap. |
