Palliative Care and HIV AIDS Global Policy paper [Новость добавлена - 04.02.2008]
This review, published by the UK's Department for International Development (DFID), provides an understanding of the gaps and opportunities for improving access to palliative care for people living with HIV and AIDS. The report states that despite the drive towards achieving universal access, to comprehensive services is dominating global and national policies.
Country reports from Vietnam and Tanzania provide examples of the barriers and successes on the ground. Recommendations include:
1. Strengthen leadership of palliative care at global level, in particular for access to medicines for pain management and symptom control.
2. Support implementation and scale up of palliative care as part of a comprehensive approach to treatment, care and support in country.
3. Increase the evidence base for palliative care.
