title: Home-based care: who is responsible?
abstract: Home-based care is a critical element of national responses to HIV and AIDS. However, governments have largely delegated the responsibility for home-based care to community and faith-based organizations. In this article, Anne Gathumbi argues that governments should articulate the rights and responsibilities of care-givers in national HIV/AIDS legislation and policy.
