The new WHO Expert Committee Report on Hypertension Control.
A new WHO Expert Committee Report on Hypertension Control has recently been prepared. This paper is not intended to be a detailed summary of this report. It rather intends to identify the principal issues where the new report differs from the previous 1978 WHO report, to point out the aspects where it has substantially incorporated the recommendations made on the 1993 WHO/ISH guidelines, and to mention the issues that have been developed in this report more extensively than in previous WHO or WHO/ISH documents.
