The evaluation of the integrated client-centred intervention programme (ICIP) for clients with MDR-TB at DP Marais Hospital in the Western Cape

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Although TB is a curable communicable disease, poor adherence to TB treatment is a major
barrier to TB control in South Africa as it increases the risks of morbidity, mortality and drug
resistance at individual and community level. As a result, multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB)
has become a serious public health issue. Underpinning this study was the assumption that a
client-centred approach to treatment of MDR-TB clients, with a hospital programme which
adopts an integrated multidisciplinary approach that is client-centred and is not purely biomedically driven, would improve treatment outcomes of MDR-TB clients.
