Hypertension Report

15 innovative projects, 17 countries, one report

Hypertension is a major contributor to the growing global pandemic of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Poor control rates for hypertension and a lack of strategies to maintain normal blood pressure reflect the challenges of effective and affordable implementation in health care and other systems.

In 2011, GACD launched its inaugural funding call for implementation science projects addressing hypertension prevention and management in LMICs and underserved populations in HICs.

In 2018, GACD released an end of programme report that summarised learnings from across the Hypertension Research Programme, marking the completion of all projects in this Programme. The report launch event took place on 27 September 2018, at the UN Millennium Hilton Hotel on the eve of the Third UN High Level meeting on NCDs in New York.
