Today is world hypertension day...More than 1 billion people have hypertension worldwide; less than 1 in 5 have it under control...Measuring your blood pressure is quick and painless. While it is silent, Hypertension is one of the leading causes of premature death in my country.

UHC coverage we need to talk about this.

Health is a system no system can work without the other. Institutionalize UHC. #tuongeeNCDs

In SA, a shortage of specialists & poor screening rates mean that many babies with #congenitalheartdisease are missed. Help parents to play an active role in getting antenatal & postnatal screening tests for #CHD done. Share this graphic during #congenitalheartawarenessweek!
