Keywords:
civil society, healthcare, socially vulnerable groups, EuropeizationAbstract
The research deals with the engagement of civil society in the field of health and their capacity to provide health care to socially vulnerable groups of HIV-positive people. The paper is designed as a case study, and the subject of analysis will be the activities and attitudes of the NGO Asocijacija Duga (Association Rainbow), whose founder was interviewed. The research has two goals. The first objective is to indicate ways in which the civil sector can participate in the provision of health and social care
to vulnerable groups. The second goal of the research refers to the identification of sociocultural and political conditions that enable the non-governmental sector’s attempt to overcome the health and social vulnerability of HIV-positive persons.
