World Hypertension Day

Hypertension, in the words of the World Hypertension League (WHL), is ‘a driving force in the global epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and the leading risk factor for death and disability globally.’ World Hypertension Day, initiated by WHL in 2005, aims to increase awareness of this silent killer and galvanise global action to combat high blood pressure. This year, the theme is a call to ‘measure your blood pressure accurately, control it, and live longer.’
