Abstract : The health information system plays a vital role in managing health-related data and improving decision-making regarding tuberculosis (TB) interventions. It addresses public health challenges by identifying program needs, supporting leadership decisions, and fulfilling community health requirements. The objective of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of health information systems used for TB intervention at the Gleno Inpatient Health Center. This study employs a quantitative research methodology with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consists of 34 health personnel from the Gleno Health Center. Data analysis includes both univariate and bivariate analyses, utilizing the Chi-Square test. The results show a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant impact of the effectiveness of the health information system and TB interventions at Gleno Inpatient Health Center. To effectively combat tuberculosis, it is crucial to promote the dissemination of health information through education and targeted interventions within communities that are already at risk or exhibiting symptoms of the disease. It is recommended that the Ministry of Health of Timor-Leste provide specific training for the management of Health Information Systems to Health Statistics Officers at all Health Centers in Timor-Leste to improve the quality of data.
