World Hypertension Day 2023 - Message from the ISH President Professor Bryan Williams

The International Society of Hypertension fully endorses World Hypertension Day and its theme: 'Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer.'

Watch this short message from President of the ISH Professor Bryan Williams, on the burden of #hypertension around the world and what needs to be done by governments, public health agencies and healthcare systems to counter the devastating and perpetual menace of hypertension - the silent killer.

The ISH has created a page of resources highlighting fantastic activities taking place around the world by many of our Affiliated Societies and members to mark WHD and May Measure Month (MMM).

Visit the page: https://ish-world.com/world-hypertens...

Let WHD and this month of May act as a prompt for people to get their blood pressure checked.

We wish all our members and Affiliated Societies the very best with all their WHD and MMM activities this May.
