In Eldoret, Kenya, and Mbarara, Uganda, we conducted in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of individuals treated for TB and multidisciplinary health care workers (HCWs) providing TB care, using a semi-structured guide. We conducted a reflexive thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In interviews with 25 HCWs and 61 individuals treated for TB, participants described trajectories of TB illness and recovery, and some persistent challenges after TB treatment across physical, economic, social, and mental health domains of wellbeing. Experiences were marked by stigma and isolation. Physical illness exacerbated economic vulnerability, which compromised physical health and presented barriers to care. There was a lack of care access and need for person-centred post-TB care. Care needs included addressing potential TB recurrence, lung health impairment, and psychosocial, nutritional, and economic challenges.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Post-TB experiences are marked by persistent symptoms, economic vulnerability, stigma, and psychosocial challenges.
