This report contains findings from a qualitative study conducted by The Tuberculosis Health Action Learning Initiative (THALI). Using convenience-sampling techniques to recruit patients and healthcare providers, it aims to provide a perspective on the barriers and enablers to accessing TB services and whether health-seeking behavior can differ by gender. The study takes into account respondent profile, knowledge of TB, diagnosis and treatment methods, help-seeking and access to healthcare, and healthcare provider perspectives. The study concludes that both male and female genders equally experience barriers and enablers. The findings and the study of barriers and enablers can help program planners and health providers respond appropriately to varying needs.
