Help in controlling blood pressure - it's a right that should be available everywhere

Controlling high blood pressure is really important for maintaining older people's health, and avoiding heart disease. Like many older people, I take the statins every day, and it keeps my cholesterol under control, and I take blood pressure tablets also. I know there's controversy continually mediating people in this way, but at least it's right that controlling blood pressure is available. But, according to a recent survey, it's not available in many countries.
