Abstract:The tuberculosis (TBC) cases among workers poses a health challenge that affects productivity and the economy. This study aims to describe TBC management programs at Company X, particularly for TBC suspects. This descriptive study was conducted in a machine repair service company with a total of 86 employees. Data were collected through interviews and supporting documents, such as follow-up examination results and annual employee health check reports, and analyzed using a qualitative approach referring to the Ministry of Manpower Regulation No. 13 of 2022 on Tuberculosis Control in the Workplace and an epidemiological screening approach. The results revealed challenges including limited access to healthcare services, lack of worker awareness, and difficulties in ensuring treatment continuity. Although the government’s early screening program is in place, case detection and follow-up rates remain low due to insufficient dissemination of the program. This study concludes that optimizing policies that integrate education, access to healthcare services, and sustainable monitoring systems is essential. Recommendations include strengthening training and socialization for occupational health personnel and fostering collaboration between companies and local government healthcare facilities.
