Analysis reveals that hypertension is a leading disease burden in Uganda, indicating high treatment costs for non-communicable diseases.

Treatment costs were highest in private facilities, especially for elderly patients with multiple conditions, highlighting significant age–disease interaction.
Disability-Adjusted Life Years analysis indicated that hypertension contributes most to the disease burden, followed by pregnancy-related hemorrhage and malaria.
