Abstract

One of the biggest problems in global health, especially among developing countries, remains to be tuberculosis (TB). The quality of life and productivity of people are significantly affected by TB, an infectious disease that can affect anyone. To achieve the goals of global health, TB preventive and control activities are essential. Through volunteer work and the use of paired sample t-tests, this study seeks to aid in the fight against tuberculosis. We set out to evaluate the efficacy of a TB treatment program that had been established in a particular community and to find elements that could further improve the success of TB treatment. Local residents who had TB were involved in the study's conduct. To assess the treatment outcomes of patients with TB before and after the intervention program, we performed a paired sample t-test. For the purpose to collect information on the social, economic, and behavioral aspects that affect TB treatment adherence, we also conducted surveys and interviews. This effort can assist shed light on ways to reduce the incidence of TB disease globally and positively impact the achievement of global health objectives. It is essential to carry out ongoing evaluation and improvement based on the results of this study in order to increase the effectiveness of programs similar to this one in the future.
