Republic of Moldova Hypertension Fact Sheet Summary

Burden of Hypertension

• In 2013, the adult population of the Republic of Moldova was approximately 4.1 million, with 39.2% (about 1.2 million) having hypertension.
• Key figures: 0.5 million (41.7% of hypertensives) were aware of their condition, 0.3 million (25.1% of hypertensives) were under treatment, and 0.1 million (8.3% of hypertensives) had controlled blood pressure.

Age and Sex

• Hypertension prevalence varied by age group; males had higher rates than females in all age brackets among 18-69-year-olds, with the highest prevalence in the 60-69 age group.

National Response

• In 2019, Moldova had policies to reduce salt/sodium intake and ensure availability of essential hypertension medicines in primary health care.
• The national target for 2020 aimed for a 10% reduction in hypertension prevalence and a 30% reduction in population salt/sodium intake.

WHO Recommendations

• WHO suggests addressing modifiable risk factors (e.g., reducing salt, promoting fruits/vegetables), improving diagnosis and treatment protocols, scaling up hypertension management, ensuring access to essential medicines, and tracking control rates to meet global heart disease reduction goals.

Trends and Progress

• Uncontrolled hypertension prevalence among adults aged 18+ decreased over time from 2000 to 2025.
• National and WHO-driven efforts focus on reducing hypertension risk, enhancing control, and achieving set health targets by 2020.
