Hypertension is one of the major Non-Communicable diseases.
Worldwide, raised blood pressure is estimated to cause 7.5 million deaths, about 12.8% of the total of all deaths. This accounts for 57 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) or 3.7% of total DALYS. Raised blood pressure is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease and ischemic as well as hemorrhagic stroke. Globally, the overall prevalence of raised blood pressure in those aged 25 and over was 40% in 2008. Stage 1/Grade 1 hypertension is defined in a clinical setting when the mean blood pressure is equal to or above 140/90 and less than 160/100 on two or more measurements on each of two or more visits on separate days. Treating systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure to targets that are less than 140/90 is associated with a decrease in cardiovascular complications.

To bring awareness amongst the population WHO celebrates 17th May as the Hypertension Awareness Day.

An epidemic is an unexpected increase in the number of disease cases in a specific geographical area. Yellow fever, smallpox, measles, and polio are prime examples of epidemics. An epidemic disease doesn't necessarily have to be contagious. West Nile fever and the rapid increase in obesity rates are also considered epidemics. Epidemics can refer to a disease or other specific health-related behavior (e.g., smoking) with rates that are clearly above the expected occurrence in a community or region.

To spread awareness on the effects, consequences, and handling of epidemics. WHO observes 17th May as International Day for Epidemic Preparedness
