Hypertension is a major public health problem due to the different kinds and nature of the work. Many people are not interested in job roles provided to them, some are looking forward to their careers. So, lack of interest and workload leads to tension and further hypertension. Around 7.5 million deaths or 12.8% of the total of all annual deaths worldwide occur due to high blood pressure. So, the Government of India has set a target of a 25% relative reduction in the prevalence of hypertension by 2025.
Recognizing that hypertension is a serious, and growing, health issue in India, the Health Ministry, the Indian Council of Medical Research, State Governments, and WHO-India began a five-year initiative to monitor and treat hypertension. Using standard treatment protocols and drug consumption from the IHCI, the average cost for treating hypertension patients treated in the public sector could be as low as Rs 200 per patient per year. which is a very good sign towards its goal that 'a high impact and low-cost solution.'
