World Hypertension Day

On World Hypertension Day, the World Health Organization, Pan-American Health Organization and Resolve to Save Lives, an initiative of Vital Strategies, is hosting an event to:  

·       launch a new virtual course and new tools that will support the measurement and management of blood pressure;
