Project Description
Bongani Hospital is faced with an immense problem due to the HIV-AIDS epidemic, with almost all children seen as inpatients and even outpatients being HIV-positive. Staff mortality has also been high. This project sought to improve Home and Community Care services for the very ill, so that pressure on hospital beds could be relieved.
