Experiences of Tuberculosis in a Tarai Village, Nepal
In focus is the experience of being a Tuberculosis (TB) patient in the mid-west Tarai of rural Nepal. The information derives from a longitudinal qualitative study between 2005 to 2017 in one and the same community. The findings show few changes in the experience of being a TB patient. The availability of anti-TB medicine free of cost within the government health services was greatly appreciated. The cause of TB, ways and means of transmissions, …
Factors Contributing to Delay in Diagnosis and Start of Treatment of Leprosy
Prolonged delays between first symptoms and diagnosis easily result in more impairment in newly detected leprosy patients, and aggregate negative consequences for individuals and their families. In cases of infectious leprosy, longer delays increase the risk for the spread of the disease. Limited studies have been carried out to explore the causes for delays in Nepal. This is a community level qualitative study conducted in Dang district. The inf…

In focus is the emic perspective on cause/s of tuberculosis.

Moreover, changes in perceptions over the last decade and an half are quite marginal. For health…
