  1. NB: - * Significant at P-value<0.05 and ** Significant at P-value<0.001.
  2. With the national standard that one health centre with DOTS service can be accessible for 25,000 in TB care, the ratio of population size to the number of DOTS sites was calculated as total number of population in the district divided by number of DOTS sites in the same district. (Total number of population in the District/Total number DOTS sites in the same district).
