Millennium Fellowship Project: Hypertension Literacy Campaign
Hypertension Literacy campaign is a project that seeks to reduce the burden of hypertension among locals in certain
communities of Edo state, Nigeria.
According to the International Society of
Hypertension(ISH), the increased prevalence of hypertension in low income regions of the world of which Nigeria constitute a larger portion is largely attributable to low level of
awareness.
The need to create awareness about
hypertension is key to preventing the risks of certain diseases associated with this medical condition.
