Pharmacists and Community Health Workers Lead in Hypertension Control

Study reveals pharmacist-led and community health worker-led interventions significantly lower blood pressure more effectively than other healthcare professionals.

Pharmacists achieved the greatest reduction in systolic blood pressure, averaging a 7.3 mmHg drop.
Community health workers closely followed with a 7.1 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure.
The study analyzed data from 100 hypertension trials worldwide, involving 90,474 participants.
Pharmacists and community health workers also led in reducing diastolic blood pressure.
The findings highlight the importance of a team-based approach in managing hypertension.
