Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant public health issue in Kenya, with Mombasa being an endemic region. A longitudinal study was conducted using data from to. The study employed logistic regression models to analyse treatment adherence based on CHW contact rates. CHWs had an average monthly contact rate of 15%, with significant variation between different healthcare facilities, indicating the need for tailored strategies to improve adherence. The study highlights the importance of consistent and targeted CHW interventions in enhancing TB treatment outcomes among patients in Mombasa. Intensified training programmes should be provided to CHWs, coupled with regular performance evaluations to ensure high contact rates and effective patient engagement.
