Heart failure patients in Ghana are being readmitted to the hospital too often, even though we have good treatments available. This trial is testing whether intensive counseling before you leave the hospital, combined with phone-based follow-up calls over the next 90 days, can help keep you out of the hospital. The study will compare this new approach to the standard care most patients currently receive.
Many heart failure patients come back to the hospital within weeks of discharge, which is dangerous and costly. Doctors think this happens because patients don't fully understand their condition or how to manage it at home, or because they don't get enough support after leaving the hospital. This trial aims to see if better communication and closer follow-up can change that.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to either receive the new intensive support (extra counseling before discharge plus phone calls at 30 and 90 days) or continue with your usual hospital care and follow-up appointments. Either way, the research team will check whether you've been readmitted to the hospital at 30 days and 90 days after discharge. The study lasts 90 days from the time you leave the hospital.
