STUDY GUIDE - Module 2: Patient Centered Approach to TB Care 1

Introduction

“Providing care that is respectful of, and responsive to

individual patient preferences, needs and values, and
ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.”
(Institute of Medicine)

“A patient-centered approach should enable patients to

exercise their rights and fulfill their responsibilities with
transparency, respect and dignity, by giving due consideration
to their values and needs.” (World Health Organization.)

The need for patient-centered approach for TB care is backed

up by evidence. (See NTP e-book). It is crucial to achieving
universal access to quality TB services for all people, prevent
suffering and death from TB and to cut transmission and
achieve the milestones and target of the End TB Strategy and
Sustainable Development Goals.

Patient-centered care is carried out on standard 9 of the

International Standards for Tuberculosis Care. It is governed
by policies and protocols.
