MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate differences between the two study regimen (4R; 3HR) in terms of completion rate, adherence and side effects among migrant population.;Secondary Objective: A. To compare drug toxicity rates (any grade and grade 3, 4, or 5) associated with 4R and 3RH. B. To compare the rates of drug discontinuation due to adverse drug reactions associated with 4R and 3RH.
