This dataset contains primary data from a cross-sectional study with 148 participants with TB in public primary health care clinics in Ekurhuleni North Sub-District, South Africa. We collected information on visits to health facilities, direct and indirect costs for participants and for their guardians and caregivers. Cost data were collected as part of the MERGE trial, which evaluated the effect of implementing an intervention to optimize/improve TB/HIV integration on morbidity, mortality and retention in care at public primary health care (PHC) clinics (Kufa et al. 2014). Data collection used structured questionnaires at 18 MERGE study clinics between April and October 2013.
