Village health workers take on silent killer in pakistan

NCT ID NCT06726057

Summary

This study tests whether training local female health workers to monitor blood pressure and provide health education can help adults in rural Pakistan better manage hypertension. The program involves regular check-ups, home visits, and referrals to doctors when needed. Researchers want to see if this real-world approach successfully lowers blood pressure and increases proper medication use in communities where high blood pressure is often undiagnosed or poorly controlled.
