After full-text reading, 19 relevant journals were found. Applications/Originality/Value: The article's originality lies in its comprehensive review of primary health care's (PHC) role in managing hypertension, integrating recent evidence (2019–2024) from diverse regions. It highlights the importance of combining medications, lifestyle changes, and technology (e.g., telemonitoring, ABPM) while addressing barriers like poor access, low adherence to guidelines, and socio-economic disparities. By focusing on practical solutions, such as better training, patient education, and programs like Indonesia's PROLANIS, the article offers valuable insights for improving hypertension management, particularly in low-resource settings, emphasizing a holistic, actionable, and globally relevant approach.]]>
