In the Philippines, persons with TB and HCWs showed a high level of acceptance and satisfaction with the impact of DAT and program design. They expressed a desire for the continuation of DATs. The challenges encountered underscore the need for ongoing technological development to minimize malfunctions, enhance the capacity of health facilities, and improve infrastructure. DATs have demonstrated their ability to strengthen user-HCW relationships and protect users from stigmatization. Additional efforts are required to scale up the DAT program in the Philippines.
