Why the study?
Knowledge about hypertension is a key factor for treatment compliance to prevent severe complications, prompting an assessment of disease knowledge and associated factors among hypertensive patients.
Knowledge about hypertension is low among patients in Northwest Ethiopia, highlighting the need for targeted health education, especially for non-government employees, those with recent diagnoses, and those living far from health facilities.
