Heart Health Matters: Raising Awareness on High Blood Pressure

On July 22, 2024, the Light for All Foundation conducted a blood pressure awareness session at Sipalay National High School. In the Philippines, high blood pressure is a significant health concern, so this session aimed to educate individuals and families on the importance of monitoring their blood pressure and what are the actions that should be taken if the blood pressure is high as per the advice of the medical doctor. 

Pharmacist Anthony Tadros led the discussion, covering important topics such as the causes of high blood pressure, tips for maintaining normal levels, and the best dietary choices for heart health. In addition to the informative session, the Light for All foundation donated a blood pressure monitor to the school to  support  students, teachers and employees in monitoring their blood pressure.
