Hypertension can be prevented and controlled: Healthy diets, physical activity, avoiding to***co, reducing alcohol intake, and appropriate medication can significantly reduce risk.
Early detection saves lives: Most people with hypertension are unaware they have it. Screening and routine measurement are essential.
Treatment works: Affordable, effective treatments are widely available and can prevent serious complications when taken consistently.
Control requires long-term care: Hypertension management is lifelong and depends on sustained access to care, medicines, and follow-up.
Equity matters: Strengthening primary health care and ensuring access to diagnosis and treatment are critical to reducing disparities.
