Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Although the study did not include human samples, patient cards and records were reviewed for data collection. Therefore, consent for participation was designed by the investigators and approved by the ethical committee of the college. Ethical approval for this study was also obtained from the National Committee of Health, Ministry of Health (Sana’a, Yemen) and the NTCP. In addition, a collaboration letter was obtained from the TB centres by the NTCP. Confidentiality of the data was prioritised during the data collection period, i.e. the names and registration numbers of the patients were not included in the datasheets. Consent forms were provided and signed by all TB patients before the study began.
