Abstract

Patient-centered care (PCC) as a philosophy is defined as the provision of care with an emphasis on the person. Patient-centered care is important enough to be one part of the coordination and collaboration efforts of the WHO strategy to eradicate tuberculosis. Patient-centered care is concerned with increasing patient empowerment and understanding of the tuberculosis treatment programme. Tuberculosis treatment adherence can be achieved through several strategies using a multicomponent strategy that includes patient and family education, utilising digital health media, and implementing individualised management.
