The study was developed after doing a non-probability method using accidental sampling technique among 40 patients and 40 health workers per municipality who agreed to be interviewed regarding the purposes of the study.
The results was analyzed with the use of Chi Square Test of Association and found that the DOTS strategy was ineffective in terms of Cure Rate since various factors were noted to affect it.
