Description:
Quality of care plays an important role in the status of tuberculosis (TB) control, by influencing timely diagnosis, treatment adherence,and treatment completion. In this study,we aimed at establishing the quality of TB service care in Kamuli district health care centres using Donabedian structure, process, and outcomes model of health care. One of the worst performance indicators was low percentage of cure. Comprehensive strengthening of the health system focusing
on quality of support supervisions, patient follow up, promoting infection control measures, and increasing health staffing levels at health facilities is crucial. [adapted from abstract]
