Tuberculosis is still a health problem in Indonesia and the world today. Aceh Province has the highest number of TB cases in Indonesia, and North Aceh district is the number one highest district in Aceh Province. One effort to reduce the morbidity rate caused by TB is TB case detection (Case Detection Rate/CDR) and the success rate of treatment. The high and low rates of TB case discovery are influenced by the performance of all managers of the TB disease control program (P2TB), which all related parties support. This research describes officers' performance finding tuberculosis cases at the Lhokseumawe City Health Center. This type of research is quantitative with a cross-sectional design. Samples were taken from the total population, namely all officers responsible for TB at community health centres in Lhokseumawe, totalling 15 officers.
