Summary
Tuberculosis (OAT) jangka pendek dengan pengawasan langsung menelan obat (PMO). Kesinambungan persediaan OAT jangka pendek dengan mutu terjamin. Meskipun berbagai upaya dilakukan oleh pemerintah, namun tanpa peran serta masyarakat tertentu tidak akan tercapai hasil yang optimal karena TB tidak hanya masalah kesehatan namun juga merupakan masalah sosial. Keberhasilan penanggulangan TB sangat bergantung pada tingkat kesadaran dan partisipasi masyarakat. Karena tuberkulosis merupakan suatu penyakit kronik yang salah satu kunci keberhasilannya adalah kepatuhan dari penderita (adherence). Kemungkinan ketidak patuhan penderita selama pengobatan TB sangatlah besar. Ketidak patuhan ini dapat terjadi karena beberapa hal, diantaranya adalah pemakaian obat dalam jangka panjang, jumlah obat yang diminum cukup banyak, serta kurangnya kesadaran penderita akan penyakitnya. Oleh karena itu perlu peran aktif dari tenaga kesehatan sehingga keberhasilan terapinya dapat dicapai (Depkes RI, 2005)
