Abstract:
The past 5-year data from 222 randomly selected outpatient cards of hypertensive patients who were followed up at a family polyclinic (n=54) and in a number of rural ambulances (n=168) of the Republic of Uzbekistan were retrospectively analyzed. The physicians from the Tashkent family polyclinic and rural ambulances of a number of the Republic’s regions, who had taken 10-month retraining courses for general practitioners, were questioned. Two hundred and fiftysix hypertensive patients followed up at the family hospital and rural ambulances were interviewed using questionnaires and examined.
