Unmet needs of hypertension care in Nigeria: results of the community action against non-communicable diseases (COMAAND) project preintervention survey.

Objective: Assessing the state of hypertension care remains the first step towards planning a robust health system needed to tackle the rising burden of hypertension. Prior to the commencement of the Community Action Against Non-Communicable Disease project, we assessed hypertension care using the hypertension care cascade (HCC). This will serve as a baseline to evaluate project performance upon completion.
