In this module, you have learned that...
- Successful treatment of a TB patient benefits both the patient and the community, and
the responsibility for successful treatment lies with the health care provider, not only
for prescribing an appropriate treatment regimen but also to provide the appropriate
support and ensure completion of therapy.
- Promoting adherence through a patient-centred approach includes choosing with the
patient the most convenient time and place for observing treatment and, when possible,
providing other social and medical services.
- Although there are many reasons that a patient does not adhere to treatment, one of the
most important is a poor relationship with the health care provider.
