Thank you to all of our members and colleagues who participated in the celebration of World Hypertension Day (WHD) held on May 17, 2023!  This year’s theme promoted accuracy in blood pressure measurement toward the control of hypertension related NCDs, especially in low to middle income areas.

We received reports from many nations of their blood pressure screenings, community events, calls to action, media releases, and education on lifestyle modification and dietary salt reduction, to help reduce the risk for stroke, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease in their communities.

This year’s event was truly memorable! Please see a few of the published WHD reports here:
