Cambodia commits to ending the Tuberculosis epidemics, which is counting as a priority among other communicable diseases by 2030. Currently, community-driven approaches have been an inherent component in addressing tuberculosis (there are limitations in community involvement to improve tuberculosis diagnosis, Community TB) epidemic in Cambodia. Community Mobilization Initiatives to End Tuberculosis (COMMIT) seeks to undertake a multi-sectoral approach using locally generated solutions to improve TB case finding, TB prevention, linkage to diagnosis and treatment support, and enhance community engagements in Cambodia. The shortage of data and information in selected project sites under the COMMIT are widely recognized. Therefore, an assessment is imperative in identifying gaps to implement COMMIT effectively. We conducted a baseline assessment to explore the availability and functionality of health facilities and services related to TB, human resources and capacity, and the linkages between different health services.
