世界卫生组织认为高血压是心血管疾病死亡的主要原因。世界高血压联盟（WHL）是一个由85个国家高血压协会和联盟组成的伞式组织，它认识到全世界超过50%的高血压人群不知道自己的病情。为了解决这个问题，世界高血压联盟于2005年发起了一项全球高血压宣传运动，并将每年的5月17日定为世界高血压日（WHD）。在过去三年中，更多的国家协会参与了人的健康与发展，并在其活动中采取了创新做法，向公众宣传这一信息。2007年，世界遗产大会有创纪录的47个成员国参加。在世界卫生大会周期间，所有这些国家与当地政府、专业协会、非政府组织和私营企业合作，通过几家媒体和公共场所提高公众对高血压的认识。通过互联网和电视等大众媒体，这一信息达到了2.5亿多人。随着Lip年复一年的势头，WHL相信几乎所有受血压升高影响的15亿人都可以得到帮助。世界人类大会的成功是来自每个成员国的多个利益相关者的热情和自愿行动的结果。
The World Health Organization attributes hypertension, or high blood Pressure, as the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. The World Hypertension League (WHL), an umbrella organization of 85 national hypertension societies and leagues, recognized that more than 50% of the hypertensive population worldwide are unaware of their condition. To address this problem, the WHL initiated a global awareness campaign on hypertension in 2005 and dedicated May 17 of each year as World Hypertension Day (WHD). Over the past three years, more national societies have been engaging in WHD and have been innovative in their activities to get the message to the public. In 2007, there was record participation from 47 member Countries of the WHL. During the week of WHD, all these countries - in partnership with their local governments, professional societies, nongovernmental organizations and private industries - promoted hypertension awareness among the public through several media and public Lathes. Using mass media Such as Internet and television, the message reached more than 250 million people. As the momentum picks Lip year after year, the WHL is confident that almost all the estimated 1.5 billion people affected by elevated blood pressure can be reached. The Success of WHD is Line to the enthusiasm and voluntary action Of Multiple stakeholders from every member Country.
