The satisfaction rate for tuberculosis DOTs observed in this study appears to be relatively lower in comparison to other studies. Availing DOTs service nearby patients to enhance the accessibility of the service is crucial to improving patients' satisfaction with DOTs service. Reducing laboratory result delays by improving laboratory service is essential to enhancing patients' satisfaction with DOTs. Moreover, improving toilet services, and availing safe water to swallow medications is recommended to enhancing patients' satisfaction with DOTs service
