There were 46 patients recruited by total sampling. Chi-square was used for data analysis. Results: Findings showed that there were statistically significant correlations between knowledge (p = 0.002), the regularity of treatment (p = 0.000), the role of drug control (p = 0.010), drug side effects (p = 0.000) and quality of service of health workers (p = 0.001) with the success of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis program. There was no correlation between distance to health facilities (p = 0.315) and the success of the treatment.
