ABSTRACT: Despite having free services in our TB DOTS facility, majority of Filipinos still fail to seek medical treatment when it comes to Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Several factors in terms of sociodemographics, knowledge, attitude and stigma have been associated to this delay in seeking health care. The aim of this research is to identify these factors and help improve the immediate health seeking of patients with presumptive pulmonary tuberculosis.
