Welcome from the Chair
Working with the World Hypertension League
The theme this year is: “Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer”, focusing on combatting low awareness rates worldwide and on promoting accurate blood pressure measurement methods. Its purpose is to communicate to the public the importance of hypertension and its serious medical complications, and to provide information on prevention, detection, and management. To do this requires the cooperation of healthcare professionals, the media, volunteer organisations and government in every country.
