Perceived Barriers to Hypertension Control: A Cross‐Sectional Study Among Healthcare Providers in the Ashanti Region of Ghana

This finding is encouraging for achieving the national hypertension control target. However, further research is needed to identify factors mitigating the effects of these barriers to inform effective interventions.
