• Description:
  Little is known about the treatment experiences of pregnant women with rifampin-resistant tuberculosis. We conducted qualitative interviews with 10 women who had this condition; 9 reported facing discrimination from healthcare providers. Our findings underscore an urgent need to ensure a human-rights-based, patient-centered approach for women with rifampin-resistant tuberculosis who are pregnant.
