Globally, about 33% of adults between 30- and 79-years have hypertension, but only 54% are diagnosed, 42% receive treatment, and just 21% have it under control. In Africa, hypertension affects 36% of adults, with 43% diagnosed, 27% receiving treatment, and only 12% having it under control.1
If countries can achieve a 50% hypertension control rate by 2050, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 76 million cardiovascular (CV) deaths and 450 million disability-adjusted life years could be prevented.1
