Control of high blood pressure and prevention of cardiovascular complications among hypertensive patients depends on patients' adherence to therapy. The Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale (HBCTS) is one of the most popular scale to assess hypertensive patients' adherence behaviour. Unfortunately, no questionnaire in the Nepalese language is available to date to assess adherence to anti-hypertensive therapy.
