The management of TB patients was documented using a specifically designed data collection form which included patients' demographics data, underlying health conditions and TB risk factors as well as clinical data including various aspects of TB management such as patients' screening, infection prevention and control (IPC), TB diagnosis and treatment and case notification and outcome. The result showed high level of compliance with the assessed TB management guidelines indices for systematic screening of TB suspects as well as IPC and surveillance, but low compliance scores were obtained for prompt TB diagnosis and use of standardized treatment regimen for drug-susceptible TB. ./cache/cord-302784-jkjdglns.txt ./txt/cord-302784-jkjdglns.txt
