Participants who were female and with comorbid diabetes were more likely to have better hypertension care overall, while the poorest and less urbanised participants were less likely to have their hypertension detected. Strategies are required to ensure equitable distribution of hypertension care. In-depth research is required to understand the contributors to suboptimal hypertension care, which likely differ by age, gender, socioeconomic status and level of care
