Socio-economic challenges, inadequate socio-economic support, absence of integrated care for MDR-TB and HIV/AIDS, and the uncaring practice of caregivers at treatment follow-up centres are found to negatively affect patients' perceived quality of care and their satisfaction with the care given for MDR-TB. Addressing these challenges is recommended to assist patients' coping ability with MDR-TB and its treatment.
