Abstract: This research aims to evaluate the Pulmonary TB program at the Pasar Sentral Health Center, Mimika Regency. This research is qualitative research with a case study design. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with a number of informants. Data analysis was carried out using a systems approach which included input, process and output of the TB program. The research results show that in the input component, the number of human resources in quantity is sufficient but there are no special TB surveillance officers and PMOs from health workers. The basic budget comes from the BOK but is not enough to support active screening activities. Facilities and infrastructure are inadequate, such as the unavailability of TCM equipment and special TB isolation rooms. In the process component, program implementation still tends to be passive, with planning not fully based on previous achievement data. Recording is carried out manually and digitally (SITB), and monitoring and evaluation are carried out routinely by the Health Service. In the output component, suspect screening only reached 63% of the target, the proportion of BTA+ was 11.6%, CNR was 59.6%, and treatment success was only 52.7%. So it is necessary to strengthen the surveillance system, add infrastructure, and increase community involvement to increase the coverage and success of the program.
