Internation Society of Hypertension
Internation Society of Hypertension
Affiliated Societies

One of the goals of any international society is to represent the interests of its constituents around the world. The International Society of Hypertension (ISH) has a unique responsibility in this regard, which is achieved in large part through the ISH International Forum. The International Forum of the ISH embodies and nurtures the global nature of the ISH and was first established in 1992. Today the International Forum is chaired by ex-ISH President John Chalmers with Stephen Harrap and Rhian Touyz as Forum Officers. It is a consultative forum, the mandate of which is to establish effective liaison between the ISH and National Societies of Hypertension or Councils of High Blood Pressure Research. It also provides a unique infrastructure and platform for networking and “cross-talk” between Societies. There are currently over 80 Affiliated Societies of the ISH Forum, details of which can be found by clicking on the appropriate region below.

If your organization is not currently an ISH Affiliated Society and you wish to join, please click here for further information, including the benefits of membership. 

Please click here for more information on the new International Forum Poster Prizes which will be awarded at the ISH Scientific Meeting in Vancouver (26th-30th September 2010).
