This dataset contains de-identified quantitative survey data from 400 people with tuberculosis (200 from Mumbai and 200 from Patna) collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data includes sociodemographic characteristics, detailed healthcare-seeking pathways (up to seven encounters), calculated delay durations (health-seeking, provider, diagnostic, and treatment delays), and out-of-pocket costs. The study focuses on analyzing the impact of the pandemic on TB diagnosis and treatment delays in urban India.
