Abstract

Hypertension is based on above the borderline of the blood pressure and it is associated with the blood vessels. If the blood pushed by the force against the walls of blood vessels (arteries) as it is pumped by the heart creates blood pressure.  The study focused on the key model initiation  BP.  There is no single pioneer of hypertension in Nepal, even though Dr. Bhagwan Koirala promoted heart health and established Shahid Gangalal Heart Centre. Dr. Buddha Basnyat contributed through research on high blood pressure. Institutions like Nepal Heart Foundation, BPKIHS, and the Institute of Medicine helped in awareness, screening, and studies. WHO Nepal also supported national surveys and policies related to hypertension.  A multisector approach is required to make people aware of blood pressure and control it with the proper lifestyle as well.
