According to the World Health Organisation, approximately only 1 in 5 adults (21%) with hypertension have it under control.

A secondary analysis of the National Family Health Survey-5 data found that almost 36.8% of Indian women and 49.5% of men with hypertension in India don't have the condition under control despite being on medication.
