Malaysia Takes Step Towards Effective Blood Pressure Management as Nationwide Initiative Rolls Out Free Blood Pressure Monitor Accuracy Check
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan. 27, 2025 -- As hypertension remains a pressing health concern in Malaysia, a nation-wide initiative has been launched to promote better blood pressure management through the accurate use of home blood pressure monitors.
Malaysia is one of the countries most affected by high blood pressure, which affects approximately 3 out of every 10 people. Despite having an awareness about the condition, many remain undiagnosed and have poor control over their condition, highlighting a need for better health awareness and screening.
The initiative aims to combat this silent epidemic in Malaysia by providing Malaysians with access to accurate blood pressure monitoring services and raising public awareness on the importance of reliable home blood pressure monitoring. A strategic partnership has been formed between Alpro Pharmacy, a leading community pharmacy chain in Malaysia, and OMRON Healthcare, a global leader in home health monitoring devices.
Through this collaboration, customers can now receive free accuracy checks for their home blood pressure monitors at Alpro Pharmacy outlets nationwide. The initiative also includes a research project aimed at understanding the benefits of home blood pressure monitoring to further educate the public on the importance of reliable monitoring as an essential preventive healthcare measure.
"We believe that accurate home blood pressure monitoring is crucial in effective hypertension management, and we are committed to empowering our customers with better health knowledge and services," said Lim En Ni, Chief Pharmacist & Engagement Director of Alpro Pharmacy.
Omron's Senior General Manager, Andre Van Gils added, "We are delighted to collaborate with Alpro Pharmacy to enhance public awareness of accurate home blood pressure monitoring. Accurate readings are essential for effective hypertension management, and we look forward to making reliable BP monitors and services more accessible to Malaysians."
With the launch of this nationwide initiative, Malaysia takes a step towards reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and improving overall health outcomes in the country.
