Journey Through the Years
Establishing the Society in 1993
The Philippine Society of Hypertension Inc. (PSH) was incorporated on 7 January 1993 by medical health providers concerned with the diagnosis, management, treatment, and prevention of hypertension. These providers include internist-cardiologists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, neurologists, obstetrician-gynecologists, pediatricians, occupational and family physicians and practitioners from other medical disciplines.
We are determined to control hypertension using a total quality management approach, which involves reciprocal communication between providers and clients facilitated by paramedical representatives and the media.
We are a member of the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) and World Hypertension League (WHL).
Our membership is comprised of over 2,000 medical health providers, as well as non-medical individuals and 13 corporate members from pharmaceutical companies involved in promoting health. Through the years, the PSH has been actively looking for ways to increase awareness of hypertension among the lay population, improve knowledge among practitioners and encourage research among students and professionals alike:
