Addressing Hypertension Care in Africa Program (NCT06986590)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
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.
