After publication of our article [1] we became aware that we had not obtained permission to reproduce the questions from the eight-item Morisky’s Medication Adherence Scale. The table in this Correction replaces Table 2 in our article. In addition, the second number for the MMAS-8 question 2 was incorrect and has been updated to 223 (79.6).

Table 2 A summary of responses to the eight-item Morisky’s Medication Adherence Scale [24] among adult hypertensive patients at Jimma University Specialized Hospital March 4, 2015 to April 3, 2015
