Four steps, one goal: control you can sustain.
Build your plan
Your plan may include medicine, tests, lifestyle changes and a follow-up date based on your health and risks.
Stay supported
Use your BP Passport and Penda’s WhatsApp support to understand the plan and keep momentum between visits.
Keep it controlled
Regular checks help the team adjust treatment when needed and move toward a stable maintenance routine.
Affordability is part of the care plan
A programme designed around the cost of staying well.
Penda created BP Sawa because patients told us that medicine costs, tests and repeated visits can make long-term care difficult. Your clinician considers lower-cost, well-tolerated treatment options where they are clinically appropriate and explains the purpose and expected cost of your next step.

Common questions
Starting should feel simple.
Do I need symptoms to have high blood pressure?
No. Most people with hypertension feel no symptoms. Measuring your blood pressure is the way to know.
Can I join if I already take BP medicine?
Yes. Bring or photograph your current medicines and any recent readings or results so a Penda clinician can understand your present plan.
Will I have to buy expensive medicine?
Your treatment must be clinically appropriate, but affordability is considered. The team can discuss lower-cost options and simple regimens when suitable for you.
Can I stop medicine when my BP improves?
Do not stop or change prescribed medicine on your own. A better reading often means the plan is working; speak with your clinician first.
Seek immediate care for a very high reading with chest pain, severe headache, confusion, weakness on one side, difficulty speaking, severe shortness of breath or a sudden vision change.
