World Health Day this year is April 7th.
The World Health Organisation has created a short factfile showing the stark reality of health inequalities around the world.
Each year a different area of public health concern is selected and this year focus will be on the topic of blood pressure. A third of the world's adult population have raised blood pressure bringing with it the associated health risks of heart attacks and strokes and added complications eg. diabetes. The British Heart Foundation website has an informative page on identifying and dealing with raised blood pressure.
