Excerpt
Patients who can be treated during the intensive phase on an out-patient basis, will be administered their drugs from a health unit closer to their home. During supervisory visits to the health units, review the Tuberculosis Treatment Cards to determine whether these patients are regularly coming to the health units to take their drugs. Make sure any patients who have stopped taking their drugs are traced.
