High Blood Pressure

According to WHO data published in 2017, Coronary Heart Disease Deaths in Sierra Leone reached 4,464 or 5.46% of total deaths. Cardiovascular-related illnesses are the 5th leading cause of death in Sierra Leone. The cardiovascular disease epidemic in Sierra Leone is driven by changing lifestyles including physical inactivity, increased alcohol consumption and tobacco use, and increased consumption of foods high in saturated fat, salt, and sugar. Educating the Waterloo community about the importance of diet, exercise, and a healthy overall lifestyle is one of the most important things we do at this hospital. If you or a loved one has already developed cardiovascular-related illness, schedule an appointment now so we can help you.
