TASO is an organization set up by Ugandans who are personally, in one way or another, concerned about AIDS. Its work in Uganda is an attempt to bridge the gap between the African approach to disease and the western, hospital-based, approach. The result is a service providing community-based care to those affected by AIDS and HIV. The attitudes of the rural people of Uganda to disease, as a typical example in the developing world, are discussed. Our conclusion is that a community-based approach is ideal in caring for those affected by AIDS and HIV in Africa.
