World Hypertension Day is observed on 17 May every year, all across the world.
Hypertension is a condition when the force of the blood against the artery walls is more than it should be. This further causes high blood pressure.
However, Hypertension, when not addressed in time, can lead to the risk of having heart diseases or stroke. Hence, to create awareness and make people understand the seriousness of the condition, World Hypertension Day is observed every year, all across the world.
World Hypertension League is an umbrella of organisations from 85 countries dealing with hypertension societies and leagues.
World Hypertension League introduced World Hypertension Day on May 14, in the year 2005.
From 2006, World Hypertension Day has been observed on May 17.
For this year, the theme of World Hypertension Day is “Measure your blood pressure accurately, control it, live longer”.
