dc.description.abstractThe biggest burden of HIV and AIDS care is shouldered by nurses and midwives, who are the first point of contact for patients, and who bear greatest responsibility for their ongoing treatment. The presentation addresses lack of acknowledgement of the role of nurses’ participation and innovations in HIV and AIDS programmes, as well as their lack of inclusion in health policy-making processes. It advocates for nurses to be heard in influencing better health policy, programme design and evaluation, rather than “waiting to be told.” Scaling up of programmes requires an “equity chain.”en
