A Study on the Perceptions of TB Patients in Accessing TB Treatments (Case Study: Insein Township, Yangon Region) (Aung Min Oo, 2025) Aung Min Oo This study examines the Perceptions of TB Patients in Accessing TB Treatments (Case Study: Insein Township, Yangon Region) in Myanmar. The main objective is to access the awareness of TB patients on TB Treatments and explore perceptions of TB patients on TB Treatments in Insein Township. The study used a descriptive analysis with primary data. This study highlights key strategies to enhance tuberculosis (TB) care. The finding of the survey revealed that most were middle-aged males with moderate education, often married or unemployed, and many had low incomes. Awareness of TB frequently arose through social networks, with private clinics being the initial care source. Diagnosis was timely for most, with minimal barriers aside from some issues with distance and wait times. Patients typically lived close to treatment centers, used public transport, and demonstrated strong adherence and satisfaction with care, despite facing stigma and awareness gaps. Emotional support was the greatest unmet need, and community support was generally positive. Respondents favoured involving community leaders, NGOs, increased awareness campaigns, expanded local facilities, and emphasized financial and nutritional aid, with strong support for government-led initiatives to improve TB care access. 2025-06-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/11477
