Abstract

Indonesia is the second country with the highest burden due to Tuberculosis (TBC) in the world after India,

which recorded 1.02 million cases in 2021. The discovery of TB suspects and cases in Payakumbuh City

since 2018 has not reached its target. This study aims to understand more deeply the phenomenon of

policies, human resources, funds, infrastructure, planning, and implementation of contact investigations

for TB case discovery in the Health Center. This type of research is qualitatively descriptive with a

phenomenological approach. The informants studied were 8 people. Data analysis is carried out using the

stages of data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results of the study showed that the

implementation of contact investigations at the Lampasi Health Center has been guided by PMK number

67 of 2016 and Presidential Regulation number 67 of 2019 and guided by Guidelines for the implementation

of TB contact investigations, for health workers, cadres, funds and sufficient infrastructure, manpower is

still lacking, planning and evaluation, the implementation of TB IC has not gone well. The conclusion of

the TB IK program activities in general has not been able to achieve the suspect target or the achievement

of the TB cases set. To maximize future TB IC activities, it is necessary to maximize the management

function
