Investigating the enablers and barriers for hypertension control in Dakar: a qualitative system effectiveness study by Anna Socha, Sarah Des Rosiers, Peter Steinmann, Daniel Cobos Muñoz, Karim Seck, Sokhna Thiam, Joseph Barboza, Florence Sécula, Johannes Boch, Sujata Bijou, Theresa Reiker, Melanie Joiner, Seynabou Mbow

“…Barriers across the cascade were patients’ low socio-economic status; trivialisation and denial of the disease; systemic challenges in the health system, such as high healthcare provider turnover; traditional gender roles that influence access to healthcare; and inefficiencies of new tools hindering healthcare provider engagement and workflow integration.Conclusions A wide range of patient, health system and contextual factors were identified as facilitating and hindering the progression of hypertension patients across the cascade of care in Dakar, Senegal. The structural determinants of health and systemic challenges in the health system were highlighted as prominent barriers, suggesting the need for upstream, system-oriented interventions for hypertension care in Dakar.…”
