- Hospitalization may be necessary for patients in poor clinical condition, with complications or associations requiring closer clinical supervision.
- Hospitalization might also be an alternative, especially during the initial phase of treatment, for a small number of patients for whom other options of ensuring treatment adherence and support are not available.
- Hospitalization does not ensure regular drug intake or completion of the treatment and may be difficult and more expensive for the patient.
- DOT should still be provided in hospital settings.
