Domiciliary Treatment

Domiciliary/Ambulatory treatment: Self-administration of (oral) drugs by patients themselves without recourse to hospitalization

Guidelines for patients on domiciliary treatment:
– Collect drugs regularly
– Dispose sputum safely (burning/5% cresol/boiling/autoclaving)
– Report to PHC if new symptoms arise
