Conclusions
Strengthening the capacity of health provider in communication is necessary to improve patient-provider interaction and to
enhance the delivery of TB related information. Community should be involved and considered in intervention to create dialogue
between patient and health provider in order to have better understanding on Patient Charter and to erase the stigma.
Intervention need to be made align with the TB health seeking behavior to private practitioner/hospital to reduce the indirect cost
created.
