What this Trial Is About
The ADHINCRA Program is a bundle of multilevel evidence-based interventions that address multiple predictors of controlled hypertension, including patient-, provider-, and health system-level factors. The successful implementation of the ADHINCRA program will provide a rigorous and scalable model for improving hypertension control in Africa, which would ultimately reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and kidney disease.
