Abstract
The objective was to analyze the organization of the tuberculosis control service in the Special Potiguara Indigenous Health District, from the view of indigenous health workers. This qualitative study was performed at the referred indigenous health district in the state of Paraíba, with 23 health workers. The empirical material was produced based on the foal group technique and analyzed according to the analytic approach of the discourse analysis technique. The identified strengths included the availability of resources for performing the bacteriological examination, guarantee laboratory functioning and timely results. Regarding the weaknesses, it was found that the organization of the service favors an interruption of the actions; fragmentation of care; inefficient communication between the different points of care. It is recommended that management mechanisms be adopted to overcome the bureaucratic barriers and consolidate an innovating and coordinated proposal, whose organization is mainly based on relationships that involve people, technology and resources
