HSR can be considered as a measure for the quality of the health system. Keeping aside the clinical aspects of healthcare, it focusses on the health system\u2019s capacity to meet the needs of patients in accordance with ethical values and service standards. HSR is comprised of eight major dimensions including autonomy, dignity, confidentiality, timely attention, communication, facility quality, social support network accessibility and provider choice.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>An analytical cross-sectional study will be conducted in three public anti-retroviral therapy (ART) centres of Karachi, Pakistan, and will continue for a period of 12 months using purposive sampling technique.
