Interventions that incorporate community engagement, cultural adaptation, and gender sensitivity are essential for overcoming barriers to care and improving treatment outcomes. Tailoring TB control programmes to address specific cultural contexts and ensuring accessibility and trust in healthcare systems are crucial steps in enhancing global TB control strategies.
