Tuberculosis is still a health problem in Indonesia and the world today. Aceh Province has the highest number of TB cases in Indonesia, and North Aceh district is the number one highest district in Aceh Province. One effort to reduce the morbidity rate caused by TB is TB case detection (Case Detection Rate/CDR) and the success rate of treatment. The high and low rates of TB case discovery are influenced by the performance of all managers of the TB disease control program (P2TB), which all related parties support.
