Too many people with hypertension are diagnosed late, treated late – or not treated at all.

In many settings across the Western Pacific Region, people still face barriers to regular blood pressure checks, timely diagnosis, affordable medicines and long-term follow-up care.

Hypertension can be controlled – but care must reach people earlier, closer to where they live, and more consistently.

Check your pressure. Protect your future.

Today is World Hypertension Day.
High blood pressure - or hypertension - often shows no warning signs, yet it increases the risk for heart disease, stroke, blindness, dementia, and other complications.

A simple blood pressure check can be life-saving.

Getting your blood pressure measured the right way helps ensure accurate results.
Incorrect positions can lead to incorrect readings.

✔ Sit with your back supported
✔ Legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor
✔ Arm supported with the cuff at heart level
✔ Use correct cuff size
✔ Rest for at least 5 minutes before the reading
✔ Do not talk during or between measurements
✔ Avoid exercise, tea/coffee, and smoking for at least 30 minutes before reading

Small steps can make a big difference in protecting your health.
