Health Worker Programmes' Impact on Tuberculosis Control in Southern Mozambique: A Comparative Analysis

Southern Mozambique faces significant tuberculosis (TB) control challenges due to socio-economic disparities and healthcare infrastructure limitations. A comparative study using mixed-methods approach including quantitative data analysis on programme participation rates and qualitative interviews to assess programme implementation quality and efficacy. Community health workers demonstrated a higher engagement rate (75%) in the district with better infrastructure compared to 60% in the resource-limited area, highlighting disparities in healthcare access. The study underscores the need for tailored interventions addressing both programme accessibility and community participation rates to enhance TB control efforts. Districts with limited resources should prioritise targeted training and support for health workers to improve their engagement levels.
