Children as Caregivers

The Global Fight against Tuberculosis and HIV in Zambia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Zambia, due to the rise of TB and the connected HIV epidemic, a large number of children have experienced the illness or death of at least one parent. This study examines how well intentioned practitioners fail to realise that children take on active caregiving roles when their guardians become seriously ill and demonstrates why understanding children's care is crucial for global health policy.
