Algeria has a high burden of hypertension as highlighted in the 2016 fact sheet. The adult prevalence rate is 23.6%, affecting approximately 6 million people out of a total population of 40.5 million. Key indicators show that only about 30% of those with hypertension are aware of it, around 13.3% are under treatment, and a small percentage (about 25% of treated) are controlled.

Globally, WHO recommends reducing modifiable risk factors like high salt intake and inactivity to lower prevalence, with technical packages like HEARTS guiding control through improved diagnosis, treatment protocols, and access to essential medicines (e.g., thiazide diuretics, ACE inhibitors). National systems have some gaps, with no specific targets set for blood pressure or salt consumption.

Trends indicate a slight decrease in uncontrolled hypertension prevalence over time from 2000 to projected 2025, though challenges remain in controlling blood pressure across ages and genders.
