High #BloodPressure is often called the “silent killer,” and in #Nepal, nearly 1 in 4 people live with #hypertension, yet fewer than 5% have it under control. To address this, the Government of Nepal launched the Hypertension Care Cascade Initiative in 2023, starting in #Kavrepalanchowk District. Its success quickly led to expansion to #Parsa District, #Ilam District, and #Kailali District. Find out how this initiative, driven by dedicated local health workers, is strengthening screening, treatment, and follow-up, while paving the way for stronger management of other noncommunicable diseases in Nepal. #BeatNCDs
