Abstract

In China, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk reduction strategies are not systematically implemented in primary healthcare (PHC). We conducted an exploratory study to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of our systematic CVD risk reduction package in one township hospital of Zhejiang.

This research is supported by the Department for International Development’s COMDIS–HSD Programme which is led by the University of Leeds
