Key result
Adopting a differentiated service delivery approach for hypertension in low- and middle-income countries has the potential to expand treatment coverage, improve blood pressure control, and optimize resource utilization.
Why the study?
Expanding hypertension services in low- and middle-income countries requires efficient and effective delivery approaches that meet patient needs within existing national health system constraints.
Population
People living with hypertension in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)

Intervention
Differentiated service delivery (DSD) model for hypertension services
Adopting a differentiated service delivery model for hypertension care in LMICs, modeled after successful HIV programs, could improve treatment coverage and blood pressure control within resource constraints.
Limitations
- More evidence is needed to make the policy and business case for this approach.
- Achieving broad scale coverage will require increased funding for hypertension services.
Cite This Study
Tisdale et al. (2021) conducted a review in Hypertension. Differentiated Service Delivery (DSD) model vs. Standard care was evaluated. Adopting a differentiated service delivery approach for hypertension in low- and middle-income countries has the potential to expand treatment coverage, improve blood pressure control, and optimize resource utilization.
