Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major health issue in Nepal. This study examines existing barriers and facilitators to utilizing CHWs in the prevention and management of NCDs. The authors argue that CHWs deliver essential NCD services. To improve service delivery, CHWs should be fully integrated into the primary care system in Nepal.
