“Every hour, more than 1,000 lives are lost to stroke and heart attacks from high blood pressure – and most of these deaths can be prevented,” said WHO manager Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “Countries have tools to change this tale. With political will and investment, millions of lives can be saved.”
The report shows that only 28 percent of low -income countries consistently have access to anyone recommended hypertension medicine compared to 93 percent of high -income nations. In 99 countries, the control rates remain below 20 percent.
