<![CDATA[Tuberculosis is one of the world's health problems including in Indonesia. In 2017 the number of new tuberculosis cases in the Deli Tua Health Center area reached 143 cases with a success rate of 76% and MDR TB reaching 15%. This decrease in cases was caused by improper drug uptake and MDR TB medication dosage errors and non-compliance with taking medication. To overcome the problem, Google Earth mapping and calendar documentation were applied. The results of the implementation show that there is a difference which means the completeness of treatment before and after the intervention with RR = 2.21; 95% CI: 1.32-3.69, cure rate for tuberculosis cases with RR = 1.87; 95% CI: 1.17-2.99, the dropout rate for treatment with RR = 1.77; 95% CI: 1.07-2.95, and mortality rate. Google Earth-based tuberculosis case intervention increased treatment completeness by 18.3%, improved tuberculosis case recovery by 15.9%, decreased tuberculosis case dropout rates by 12.5% and decreased tuberculosis case fatality rates by 4.4%. It was concluded that the Google Earth-based tuberculosis case monitoring system was effectively implemented in the work area of the Public health center in Deli Tua. It is recommended to use of Google Earth-based tuberculosis monitoring system.]]>
