Introduction: Morocco is known to be an endemic country of tuberculosis (Tb), with an incidence of almost 94/100.000 cases per year, the country does a lot of efforts while constantly struggling against tuberculosis in order to prevent and treat it.

Objectives:  This study aims to determine the attitudes and practices of healthcare providers and their role in the prevention of tuberculosis among themselves and in the general public.

Methods: A total of 110 healthcare providers working in the Souss Massa region of morocco were questioned about their attitudes and practices.

Results: 56% of the questioned were interns or general practitioners, 21% were residents or specialists while medical students and nurses represented 11% each. 47% of the resident/specialist were pulmonologists. The median age was 25 years. 98% were vaccinated by the BCG vaccine in infancy, 3,6% (n=2) were treated for commun pulmonary tuberculosis while 58% personally knew someone who had active tuberculosis. 52% don?t wear a protection mask in the workplace, while 75% only wear it if the patient is known to be contagious. 21% think that the risk of infection by tuberculosis concerns only pulmonologists. In all, 58% of the participants do not wear a mask for their lack in the workplace, 25% because they feel uncomfortable wearing it and 17% because of their estimation that the risk of contagiosity is low.

Conclusion: Our study has showen a discrepancy between the established recommendations and the practical attitudes of all the healthcare workers at a local level. as an endemic country, we must do more to educate and protect the healthcare providers from the high risk of contamination by tuberculosis in their work environment.
