This study was uncertaken to find an effective management modality for patients with hypertension. Patients 60years or older were selected for this purpose from a general hospital and a welfare center in Pusan and from a public health clinic in Cheju Island. During the month of October in 1984. the management modality for hypertension. the incurred medical expenses. and knowledge about the hypertension were analyzed and compared. The following results were obtained: 1. The a erage total medical expense per year was highest at the general hospital followed by the public health clinic and the welfare center. 2. It was found that the patients chose the public health clinic for its low medical cost. the welfare center for its proximity as well as for its low medical cost. and the general hospital for its quality medical services Also. the study has shown that the prescription of drugs was the major service provided by the public health clinic whereas the blood pressure measurement. the prescription of drugs. and family planning were the primary service offered by the welfare center. Drug prescription and blood pressure measurement were two of the most important services by the general hospital. 3.
