Beat the Pressure - 5KM Hypertension Awareness Run
This May, over 90 countries worldwide will simultaneously launch the May Measure Month (MMM) program to conduct community blood pressure screenings.
Our goal is to detect hypertension early and to guide individuals toward necessary lifestyle modifications and medical treatment if needed.
The World Hypertension Day on May 17th marks the inauguration of this year’s MMM program in Sri Lanka.
Join hands with us on “Beat The Pressure: 5KM Hypertension Awareness Run” as a head-turner to urge the public to get their BP measured today.
