Understanding predictors of medication adherence and treatment outcomes among TB patients in the Western Region, Ghana: strategies for strengthening TB control efforts
Medication adherence is strongly associated with TB treatment success, surpassing individual factors like age and gender. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening adherence through social support systems, economic assistance, community-based interventions, and employment-related policies. Enhancing access to care through CHPS initiatives, aligning TB care with Ghana's universal health coverage and social protection frameworks, may support better health outcomes and contribute to achieving national and global TB control targets.
