Patients’ acceptability, adherence and satisfaction on the modified shorter all-oral multidrug-resistant tuberculosis regimen: a two-phase cross-sectional study in Tanzania
Generally, the modified shorter oral MDR-TB regimen was accepted, and patients reported good adherence and were satisfied. More engagement with patients could provide more insights into factors that can maximise acceptability, adherence and satisfaction with the regimen.
