Brief Summary
The purpose of the second phase of the Hypertension Treatment in Nigeria (HTN 2.0) Program is to build upon the success of the first phase of the HTN Program (2020-2023), which implemented the WHO HEARTS package across 60 primary healthcare centers (PHCs) in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria.
