- The day aims to raise awareness about high blood pressure and related health risks.
- It was started in 2005 by the World Hypertension League (WHL).
- Hypertension means high blood pressure and is often called a “silent killer” because it may not show early symptoms.
- Uncontrolled hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and other cardiovascular diseases.
- The theme for the year 2026 is “Controlling Hypertension Together: Check your blood pressure regularly, defeat the silent killer”.
