Capacity and site readiness for hypertension control program implementation in Nigeria: A nationwide cross-sectional study

This first large-scale systematic assessment of capacity and readiness for a system-level hypertension control program within five states of Nigeria demonstrated implementation feasibility based on the workforce, equipment, and health information systems, but there is a critical need for health-worker training and provision of protocols for hypertension treatment and control, as well as some need to strengthen the essential medicine supply chain.

Abstract

This first large-scale systematic assessment of capacity and readiness for a system-level hypertension control program within five states of Nigeria demonstrated implementation feasibility based on the workforce, equipment, and health information systems, but there is a critical need for health-worker training and provision of protocols for hypertension treatment and control, as well as some need to strengthen the essential medicine supply chain.
