As a result, HPN is considered a disease of high prevalence and low control and its treatment inadequate. It can lead to coronary heart disease (CHD), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), stroke, congestive heart failure and kidney failure which ultimately result in 7.5 million deaths each year could be attributable to hypertension ( 21 -22). Despite the high prevalence of hypertension and its consequences, awareness and control of patients' blood pressure are very low worldwide. Detection rates in most high-income countries range from 32% to 64%, while in many low-income countries reported detection rates are significantly lower (14). Prevention and control of hypertension has not received due attention in many developing countries, despite it being one of the most modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension are extremely low in these countries (23). To date, Ethiopia does not have a national strategy for the prevention and control of hypertension and has limited studies conducted on
