The prevalence of hypertension (HTN) in Sub-Saharan Africa is rising rapidly. Recent estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that HTN is a leading cause of premature morbidity and mortality, and that prevention and control could prevent at least 250,000 deaths annually; however, estimates of awareness (40%), treatment (30%) and control (20%) are low (WHO, 2009). Clustering of risk factors with increased risk of CVD morbidity/mortality is also rising, leading to increased disease burden.
