Abstract

Abstract: Managing latent tuberculosis (LTA) treatment is one of the key strategies to achieve the goal of ending tuberculosis in Vietnam by 2035.

Objectives and Methods: This study aims to analyze the current state of LTA treatment management in Yen Dung and Tan An wards, Bac Ninh province in 2025 using a descriptive cross-sectional method combining qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Results: the number of LTA-positive cases detected in the first six months of 2025 increased by 58% compared to 2024, and the treatment completion rate reached a high level of 92.4%. However, communication efforts remain limited, with a low participation rate in community talks (an average of 18-20 people/session) and 100% of health stations still managing data using paper records, without applying information technology.

Recommendations: The study highlights the need for digitalization of management and innovation in communication methods to sustainably maintain treatment outcomes.
