Hypertension in Botswana Fact Sheet Summary

Burden of Hypertension (2014)

In 2014, hypertension affected 29.5% of Botswana's adult population, equivalent to approximately 387.7 thousand people out of a total population of 2,088,619. Key figures:

Prevalence: 29.5%
Awareness: 62.3% of those with hypertension were aware of their condition
Treatment: 53.7% were under treatment
Control: 46.5% had controlled blood pressure

National Systems Response (2019)

As of 2019, Botswana had policies for reducing salt/sodium consumption and essential hypertension medicines available in primary health care facilities.

National Targets

The national goal is a 25% relative reduction in hypertension prevalence by 2023, with no specific target mentioned for salt consumption.

WHO Recommendations for Prevention and Control

WHO suggests addressing hypertension through reducing modifiable risk factors like high salt intake and physical inactivity, using technical packages such as HEARTS to improve diagnosis and treatment protocols, and monitoring control rates.

Data Definitions

Hypertension: Presence of high blood pressure (SBP ≥140 mmHg or DBP ≥90 mmHg) or being told by a healthcare provider.
Aware (Diagnosed): Individuals with hypertension who have been informed and are aware.
Under Treatment: Those receiving prescribed medication.
Controlled: Achieving blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg while aware and treated.

Trends

Uncontrolled hypertension prevalence in adults aged 18+ decreased over time from 2000 to 2025.
Age and sex-specific data show higher hypertension rates in older adults and males in some age groups.
