- Description
- This report was commissioned by the SADS AIDS Network of Nurses and Midwives (SANNAM) in collaboration with UNAIDS. It involved original investigation in the field by a consultant who, over the course of one month, visited five countries in Southern Africa, namely, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Zambia, to link up with the national nursing associations and speak to a wide range of people. In addition to nurses and midwives, these included some of the people they work with in communities, such as volunteer caregivers, members of youth groups, and PLWHA (people living with HIV/AIDS) and their families, as well as people working within ministries of health, and relevant United Nations agencies and nongovernmental organizations.
