Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes — Treatment Protocol Cards
The WHO HEARTS and PEN simplified protocols for primary care: diagnose, treat, titrate, refer — one card each
What it is
Two protocol cards: hypertension (diagnosis thresholds, lifestyle, stepwise medication with the WHO HEARTS core drugs, targets, when to refer) and type 2 diabetes (diagnosis, metformin first, adding a sulfonylurea or insulin, targets, foot and eye checks, referral). To be confirmed against the national protocol.

Any facility may translate, add its logo and adapt wording to local practice — keeping the ASF block, the source attribution and the licence line on the sheet. Clinical thresholds and drug doses must be confirmed against national protocols before use.
