Abstract
Dinesh Neupane and colleagues (January, 2018) 1 report the effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention to reduce blood pressure led by Nepalese female community health volunteers (FCHVs). Although we agree with the authors that the FCHV-led lifestyle intervention, alongside blood pressure monitoring, can be a good initiative for blood pressure reduction, we have concerns about its feasibility and sustainability.
