More training was conducted for HCWs in the rural 24 (10.4) compared to the urban 17 (7.4%) PHCs.  430 patients (95.7%) agreed to get clear instructions from the HCWs without rural-urban dichotomies. 55.2% of the patients demonstrated good knowledge of hypertension, and 31.1% of these are urban patients. Chi-square analysis confirmed a significant difference in patient counseling and education on lifestyle modifications was higher in the rural PHC, (P-value=0.04). Urban HCWs (49.5%) correctly responded to expected blood pressure values for well-controlled hypertension without comorbidity. Blood pressure (mmHg) measured in the rural PHCs (SBP=151.27±12.04; DBP=96.37±9.12) was insignificant compared to the urban (SBP=149.92±16.30; DBP=95.16±7.12). Generally, PHCs showed poor community engagement (2.0%) to care for hypertension.
