Abstract

Tuberculosis disease is a disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis bacteria that attack the lungs. Tuberculosis is the oldest disease that is currently still a burden for several countries. The group prone to Tuberculosis is the productive age group of 15-54 years. So through this community service by knowing that there are age groups vulnerable to the spread of Tuberculosis so that there is an initiative to carry out interactive educational socialization that provides a forum to measure the importance of preventing the chain of spread of Tuberculosis from an early age, and in an effort to eliminate TB this can be understood at various levels of the community in the community. The purpose of this activity is to broadly disseminate information on the important role of the community in the elimination of Tuberculosis. The reach generated from education through social media with a total reach account of 967 accounts consisting of 556 followers and 411 non-followers. Basically, in this effort to eliminate tuberculosis, it is guided by how to keep healthy people healthy without having to be infected / infected with tuberculosis bacteria and how to make sick people recover where TB sufferers can be cured by regularly taking medication. And with this discussion model, we realize the importance of playing an active role in the elimination of tuberculosis through cross-sectoral and community cooperation efforts.
