Hypertension: Critical Gaps in Hypertension Care in Rural India Revealed by ISB Study |

A study by the Max Institute of Healthcare Management at the Indian School of Business (ISB) found that private healthcare providers in rural and peri-urban India have critical gaps in diagnosing and managing hypertension, a chronic condition affecting millions of Indians. The study, published in a peer-reviewed journal, highlighted issues such as inconsistent diagnostic practices, improper follow-up mechanisms, and inadequate record-keeping. Researchers emphasized the need for a more structured healthcare approach, including standardized screening protocols and patient education, to improve hypertension management in underserved areas.
