Drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment outcomes among Saharia: a marginalized community of Madhya Pradesh, India
Although the program's recommended target of >75% could not be achieved, the treatment success rate in the study is still admirable in a hard-to-reach high-TB-risk tribal area. The findings show that with community-based approaches, favourable treatment outcomes can be achieved in DR-TB patients from resource-poor settings.
