Improving HIV care through the prevention of suffering: Palliative care
Improving HIV care through the prevention of suffering: Palliative care - Prosiect
Trosolwg o'r prosiect
26. 6 million people in sub-Saharan Africa live with HIV, with 2. 3 million AIDS deaths in 2003. The majority of those in advanced stages of the disease rely on simple home based care due to a lack of resources. They are unable to access pain control and end their lives in severe pain. The project will carry out research with a network of leading African HIV palliative care providers in South Africa and Uganda to develop and pilot a patient centred measure of palliative care quality.
