dc.description.abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major global health crises, which contributes to high mortality in pregnant women. A qualitative descriptive research approach was used to conduct the study. The study was conducted at Polokwane East sub-district, Limpopo Province to explore the views and challenges faced by midwives in tuberculosis screening among human immunodeficiency positive (HIV) pregnant women in selected local area clinics. Nonprobability purposive sampling was used to select the participants. Semi structured interviews with guide questions were used to collect data from the participants through digital channels. Analysis of data was done according to Tesch’s eight steps. Findings revealed several challenges, which hinder midwives from providing quality TB screening to pregnant women, such as lack of resources, midwives related challenges and pregnant women related challenges. Recommendations were done based on the study findings for the department of health, PHC facilities, midwives, and future research studies. en
