Abstract

Pa’buritta is an innovation program formed by Tuberculosis program managers in the working area of the Bululoe Health Center. This program implements TB control strategies actively both in case detection and in the treatment process by applying active case finding strategies. Primarily aimed to evaluate the pa’buritta program based on the theory of the health care system. This research is of a qualitative study using a content analysis approach. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and observation. Program evaluation is based on system theory consisting of three main variables. The first variable is “input” with four sub-variables namely human resources, operational budget, facilities and infrastructure, and implementation time. The second variable is “process” with three sub-variables namely planning, implementation, and monitoring or evaluation. The third variable is “output” with two sub-variables, namely program success and patient satisfaction. The Pa’buritta program adopts an innovative concept and is expected to be able to answer TB control problems. However, there are still some deficiencies in this program, especially in terms of the availability of cadres and the operational budget. This research provides further understanding that the success of TB control does not only depend on the health sector, but more broadly requires multisectoral and multidisciplinary collaboration.
