HYPERTENSION

Sept. 12, 2021

The World Health Organization recently released guidelines for pharmacological treatment of hypertension.

About:

Though high blood pressure is a leading cause of disease, disability and death in all regions of the world, affecting an estimated 1.4 billion persons across the world, only 14% have it under control.
This is because of three gaps in health system performance. Many who have hypertension are unaware, several of those who are detected are not on treatment and only half of those who are treated are effectively controlled on their prescribed treatment.
