Tuberculosis remains a pressing public health concern in Indonesia, ranking second globally after India. Factors contributing to Indonesia’s high TB incidence include lengthy treatment, rising HIV/AIDS cases, and multi-drug resistant TB. Effective TB control focuses on targeted screening, avoiding costly mass screening. This study explores early lung TB detection using WHO systematic screening at Tamalate District, Makassar, Indonesia, addressing screening challenges and program management concerns.
