"Hypertension affects one in three adults globally, and yet only one in five people are actually controlled for their blood pressure. We've actually estimated at the WHO that we can save 76 million lives by 2050 if we can increase control rates globally. That's about the size of South Africa," says Taskeen Khan, WHO, Medical Officer, Cardiovascular diseases.
In the recent episode of Science in 5 by WHO, Dr Khan talked about hypertension, its symptoms and how it affects the body.
