Obtain a free informative booklet on AIDS home based care strategies that work in the developing world!

Doctors For Life, a South African based non-profit organization that has devoted much time and effort to preventive AIDS strategies and care, has created a booklet on home based care (HBC). The HBC booklet, created in response to the unrelenting AIDS crisis in South Africa and other developing countries, aims to address uneducated populations in rural areas by using simple language and pictures. Furthermore, the skills presented in the booklet have proven to be effective and practical in areas where there is little or no health care or medical backup.

The HBC booklet is available in 5 different languages, and draws on published information by the World Health Organization. To obtain a copy or for more information, please contact Doctors For Life:
