Trend of all types of tuberculosis at health facilities in Harari region, Eastern Ethiopia: A 10 year time series analysis

Abstract

Tuberculosis is among the leading causes of death globally. Every year more than 10 million peoples are suffering from tuberculosis. United nation and world health organization stated that urgent action is required to end the global tuberculosis epidemic in 2030. In Ethiopia, there is a scarcity of information on trend of tuberculosis particularly in this study setting. As a result, significant numbers of the total case load are outside of the conventional tuberculosis control programme and threaten the control strategy. There is limited study on trend and forecasted information of all types of tuberculosis analysed using time series analysis in Harar governmental and private health facilities.
