World Hypertension Day / Wereld Hypertensie Dag 2025
17 mei 2025
World Hypertension Day (WHD) is observed every May 17th in order to raise awareness and promote hypertension prevention, detection and control.
WHD is a day designated and initiated by The World Hypertension League (WHL), which is itself an umbrella to organizations of 85 national hypertension societies and leagues. The day was initiated to increase the awareness of hypertension. This was especially important because of the lack of appropriate knowledge among hypertensive patients. The WHL launched its first WHD on May 14, 2005. Since 2006, the WHL has been dedicating May 17 of every year as WHD.
