Help Us Protect Children’s Hearts
If you work at an institution, organisation or an independent company involved in paediatric blood pressure screening, anthropometry, or scientific engagement in paediatrics then this cause is for you!
The Executive Committee of the Childhood Hypertension Consortium of Africa (CHCAfrica) thanks OMRON for the in-kind donation of 100 validated HBP-1120-E devices and cuffs for the first national project of the CHCAfrica in South Africa.
We are delighted to take this journey with OMRON to establish the first nationally representative normative reference values of blood pressure and anthropometry in children and adolescents (ages 5 - 18 years), which will benefit healthcare providers in the sector with a clear guideline on the management of high blood pressure in children and adolescents as developed by experts working with these challenges daily. The CHCAfrica also aims to drive policy change in healthcare for children and adolescents in South Africa and contribute to ongoing community engagement and outreach to promote health education among parents, teachers and children.
