Tuberculosis Care Evaluation in Ethiopia

The study was conducted in Haramaya District, Eastern, Ethiopia from January 10, 2021 to February 20, 2021. Haramaya district is one of the 20 districts of East Hararghe zone. It is 504 km from Addis Ababa, the nation’s capital, and 19 km from Harar. According to population projection, the total population of the district in 2019 was 310,039. The district has 33 rural and one urban kebeles. Nine health centers and one hospital in the district provided TB care, including directly observed therapy short course (DOTS), during the study period. A total of 357 TB patients were receiving follow-up care in 2020.
The study included adult TB patients over the age of 18 who were receiving anti-tuberculosis medication. While those patients who were pregnant, seriously ill, or unable to communicate were excluded.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
