Our study showed different gaps in the National Tuberculosis Program and Tuberculosis Surveillance Systems across several areas. The structure of National Tuberculosis Program and the clinical expertise of human resources do not support tuberculosis elimination. An electronic data collection and notification system is essential to facilitate tuberculosis case detection, reporting, and follow-up. Decision-makers should push the tuberculosis epidemic on the national health agenda. Jordan should focus on allocating national and international resources for tuberculosis control programs.
