TY - JOUR AU - Callaghan, Mike AU - Ford, Nathan AU - Schneider, Helen PY - 2010 DA - 2010/03/31 TI - A systematic review of task- shifting for HIV treatment and care in Africa JO - Human Resources for Health SP - 8 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - Shortages of human resources for health (HRH) have severely hampered the rollout of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa. Current rollout models are hospital- and physician-intensive. Task shifting, or delegating tasks performed by physicians to staff with lower-level qualifications, is considered a means of expanding rollout in resource-poor or HRH-limited settings.
