Ministry of Health emphasizes the need to promote health services with the aim of increasing access and utilization of the services. Prevention and control of Tuberculosis is one of the priority services of the health sector that has had inadequate promotion as a result of lack of communication strategic guidelines. This has made it difficult to achieve the national TB control programme objectives/targets of detecting 70% of new TB infectious cases and uccessfully treat 85% of them using DOTS strategy and worse still in an environment in which HIV/AIDS has complicated the management of TB.
