Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, with Indonesia ranking second in TB burden. In East Nusa Tenggara, TB case detection and treatment coverage remains below national targets. A secondary analysis was conducted using cross-sectional data from the 2025 Tuberculosis Information System (SITB), including TB notifications, treatment outcomes for drug-sensitive (DS) and drug-resistant (DR) TB, and population-based case characteristics. Drug-sensitive TB treatment achieved high success in several districts, while drug-resistant TB outcomes were lower due to mortality and treatment discontinuation. TB notifications remain suboptimal, influenced by environmental factors such as poor household ventilation and uneven distribution and activity of health cadres. Strengthening human resources and ensuring active, village-level cadre engagement are essential for improving TB case detection and treatment outcomes. Mapping epidemiological patterns can guide targeted interventions and support policy development to enhance TB control in East Nusa Tenggara.
