This World Hypertension Day, 17 May, we’re encouraging everyone to take a simple but powerful step: check your blood pressure and know your numbers.
It only takes a few minutes, but it could make a life-changing difference.
On World Adherence Day, we’re reminding everyone that taking blood pressure medication as prescribed really matters. Sticking to your treatment plan can help keep your blood pressure under control and lower your risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
Today marks 20 years of World Kidney Day - a reminder of the vital role our kidneys play in keeping us healthy, and the serious consequences when they do not work properly.
High blood pressure is one of its biggest risk factors!
