Why the study?
Hypertension is escalating in sub-Saharan Africa, where poor control persists and international guidelines fail to address the continent's unique clinical, cultural, and resource realities.
The 2026 ISH guidelines provide tailored, simplified protocols for hypertension management in Africa, empowering non-physician health workers to improve detection and control in resource-limited settings.
