Abstract
Community-based caregiving programmes for elderly women living with HIV/AIDS in South African urban slums have gained attention as a critical component of comprehensive care. Data were collected through structured interviews with community members and focus group discussions conducted by trained facilitators. The study underscores the importance of integrating community care into HIV/AIDS treatment frameworks for enhanced outcomes among vulnerable populations. Healthcare providers should prioritise expanding community-based caregiving programmes and advocating for policy changes that promote holistic health approaches in urban slums.
