Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis
September 2018
Setting: The study was conducted at Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda.
Objective: As chronic respiratory disease (CRD) is a huge, growing burden in Africa, with few available treatments, we aimed to design and evaluate a culturally appropriate pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program in Uganda for people with post-tuberculosis lung disorder (p-TBLD).
Design: In a pre-post intervention study, a 6-week, twice-weekly PR program was designed for people with p-TBLD.
