AIDS--a global concern.
HIV and AIDS are diseases which have rocked the health care agencies throughout the world in the 1980's. The editor of Midwifery has tried to secure a paper on the impact of AIDS on midwifery in some parts of the world. As much research has still to be done this paper is not available at the moment. The following paper was offered for publication and although written for nurses (it was presented at the 3rd International Intensive Care conference, Montreal Canada in August 1988) its message is for all health care workers.
