The patient-centred care approach is the practice of caring for patients (and their families) in ways that are meaningful and valuable to the individual patient.
- It includes listening to, informing and involving patients in their care.
- Successful treatment and care can only result when patients' preferences, values and needs are satisfactorily addressed along with clinical care.
- The diagnosis of tuberculosis should be early, accurate and affordable and the treatment is to be delivered in a manner that is easily accessible, affordable and acceptable to the patients.
- The confidentiality and dignity of the patient should be protected.
- Prevention, management and mitigation of stigma and discrimination are essential elements of patient-centric care.
