- Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) infects over 9 million people annually and, in high prevalence settings, is closely related to HIV/AIDS. Despite this, the two diseases are often treated using contrasting approaches: one focused on patient control, the other focused on empowerment. This article reports on patient experiences of a TB treatment programme in South Africa modelled on the empowerment-oriented antiretroviral treatment (ART) programme.
