The Care and Support Cellule (2003)
"The Senegalese national HIV/AIDS Alliance (ANCS) provides technical and financial support to organizations caring for and supporting people living with HIV/AIDS locally. It has done this through cellules – multi-disciplinary teams that include healthcare providers, social workers, health educators and people living with HIV/AIDS themselves, to provide integrated care. This report outlines the characteristics, strengths and positive impact of the cellule approach, as well as its weaknesses. It also provides practical steps for those wishing to establish similar associations elsewhere. It includes topics such as facilitating access to medication, and mutual support among people living with HIV/AIDS."
