Quality of life among people with tuberculosis in the Eastern Cape, South Africa: a qualitative study

Abstract

Adaptable interventions that can be tailored to individual needs are required to help those with TB feel good about their life position. Intervention components should be delivered in the setting of long-term relationships with providers and prioritize financial wellbeing and counselling. High levels of support are needed during early treatment but supports must remain accessible through treatment completion and beyond.
