SignalADoc celebrates World Hypertension Day on May 17 as a day dedicated to highlighting the importance of monitoring blood pressure and bringing global awareness to the 1 billion people living with high blood pressure worldwide. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension is the number one risk factor for heart disease, stroke, renal complications and premature death.
The theme of this year’s edition is ‘Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer’ and it focusses on combatting low awareness rates worldwide, especially in low to middle income areas like Nigeria, and accurate blood pressure measurement methods towards effective treatment of hypertension for a healthy & longer life.
Millions of Nigeria have Hypertension but unfortunately, they are not aware that they have it.
The CEO of SignalADoc, Mr. Osagie Omokaro encourages all adults in Nigeria to prevent Hypertension by; eating balanced & healthy diets, not smoking, being physically active weekly and getting enough sleep.
