Title: Nurse-Patient ratio in MDR TB Hospital

Discussion contents:
"Dear all,

I would appreciate your views on what should ideal nurse patient ration in a
MDR TB unit. I know it can't generalised but in your own settings where
nurses are doing the standard MDR TB related activities like DOT and general
nursing care, patient Education, and other paper work- what would be an
optimal ratio?

Thanks,

Stobdan
