World Hypertension Day

Controlling Hypertension Together!

17 May 2026 (Last updated: 19 May 2026 16:39)

With World Hypertension Day approaching on 17 May, this is an important moment for everyone working to improve awareness, detection and management of high blood pressure.

This year’s World Hypertension Day theme is “Controlling Hypertension Together!” - a message that feels especially relevant as BIHS continues to strengthen its role in bringing together clinicians, scientists, researchers, partners and the wider public health community around better blood pressure control.

The World Hypertension League has made a range of campaign resources available, including the 2026 campaign toolkit, logos and awareness materials. Members are encouraged to download and use these resources in their own local, clinical, academic and community activities.

We would also love to hear what members are doing during May Measure Month and in the lead-up to World Hypertension Day. Please share your stories, photos, events and activity on social media and tag BIHS so that we can help amplify your work.
