The study was conducted to assess the awareness regarding Tuberculosis (TB) among the garment workers in Savar, Dhaka. Data were collected by face to face interview using a semi-structured questionnaire. A total of 110 garment workers were interviewed, among them, 51.8% were male and rests of 48.2% were female.
