HIV and AIDS
- Nurse-driven, community-supported HIV/AIDS treatment at the primary health care level in rural Lesotho: 2006-2008 programme report
-
Lesotho has the third highest HIV prevalence in the world, with an estimated 270,000 people living with HIV and AIDS in the country, and 18,000 deaths annually of AIDS-related complications.
In an effort to tackle the challenges that prohibit patients from accessing care and treatment, a decision was taken to decentralise HIV and AIDS services in Lesotho to the primary health care level.
This report by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) outlines the community-based approach to the decentralisation of HIV and AIDS services.
