Education and counselling for people with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is recommended by the World Health Organization, given the arduous treatment journey. A model of education and counselling involving counsellors and peer counsellors, standard sessions and novel education tools was piloted in the high DR-TB burden context of Daru, Papua New Guinea. The pilot contributed to high retention in care, highlighting the need for investment in scalable models. Future models will need to be adapted as better tolerated regimens are introduced. A focus on patient-centred care requires prioritisation in order to meet the End TB Strategy targets.
