Brief Summary:
Hypertension has become a public health concern worldwide due to its significant contribution to the global health burden and its role as a prominent risk factor for the development of a number of chronic diseases such as Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the leading cause of mortality in Pakistan and Worldwide. According to WHO, about 7.5 million deaths worldwide is attributable to hypertension i.e. about 12.8% of the total of all deaths. This accounts for 57 million disability adjusted life years (DALYS) or 3.7% of total DALYS.
Studies suggest that hypertension is among the top five most common presenting complaints to private general practice clinics. Therefore, primary care physicians/Family physicians are the first line service providers and; thus it is important to manage hypertensive patients early, through lifestyle and treatment interventions that may prevent the complications such as development of CVDs etc.

Detailed Description:
To the best of authors' knowledge limited evidence is available from Pakistan on management of hypertension through an integrated approach. Therefore, the aim of the trial is to develop a health delivery system that effectively manages hypertension at primary care level.
Hypothesis: The development of an integrated management approach will be effective in managing hypertension at all levels among hypertensive patients.
