摘要：

This article promotes the understanding of how children experience chronic illness in Mauritania, West Africa. The analysis of interviews with 31 children highlights the impact of health care on children. Children construct their own unique interpretations of their illness, employing concepts from the biomedical and popular approaches to health. This research contributes to literature by expanding the understanding of how children minimise the symptom burden to maintain hope and reduce the social impact of their illness.
