Summary
This study looked at two strategies to help Ugandans living with HIV and high blood pressure get better care. One strategy provided free blood pressure medicines and equipment, while the other added extra staff and support. Over 87,000 patients took part. The goal was to see which approach works best to control blood pressure and is worth the cost.
