Seychelles Hypertension Summary

• Burden of hypertension in Seychelles (2013): 40.1% of the adult population (20.4 thousand) had hypertension, with 12.9k estimated cases. Awareness, treatment, and control rates were respectively 80%, 63.2%, and 50.6%.

• National systems (2019): Policies and essential medicines available for hypertension control. National targets aim for a 25% reduction in hypertension prevalence and 30% reduction in salt intake by 2025.

• WHO recommendations: Address modifiable risk factors such as high salt intake, lack of physical activity, and obesity. Use technical packages like HEARTS for prevention and control.

• Trends: Uncontrolled hypertension prevalence decreased over time. Age and sex-specific data show lower control rates, particularly in younger adults.

• Challenges: Low control rates highlight gaps in healthcare access, medication availability, and population education. Stakeholders need to implement evidence-based strategies to meet global targets.
