Checking your blood pressure regularly is one of the simplest ways to detect hypertension early – but how you measure it matters.

Before taking your blood pressure, avoid smoking, exercise, caffeine and alcohol for at least 30 minutes. Sit upright, rest your arm at heart level, keep your feet flat on the floor, and stay calm and quiet during the reading.

Across the Western Pacific Region, millions of people live with high blood pressure without knowing it.

Check your pressure. Protect your future.

Every year, over 300,000 women lose their lives to cervical cancer—most in low- and middle-income countries.
We can change this. Start with awareness, screening, and HPV vaccination.
