Health care workers should explain the importance of directly observed treatment as a standard of care for all patients. The health worker must watch the patient swallow all the drugs. This will ensure that the patient takes the correct drugs regularly for the required time. If injections are needed, they will be given properly. For example, if the patient does not take all of the drugs, he or she will continue to spread TB to others, and his or her TB will not be cured. It is dangerous to stop or interrupt treatment, because then.
