In Egypt, there was no data yield yet showing the effect of awareness about hypertension on hypertensive patients. So we evoked a question: does being hypertensive affect knowledge about hypertension or not? Methods: The study is a comparative cross-sectional descriptive study. A convenient sample of 500 subjects was selected. The questionnaire was intended to evaluate hypertension knowledge regarding symptoms, risk factors, complications and general knowledge. Results: There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between both groups. 25% of the subjects were unaware whether hypertension is contagious or not; 45% of the subjects confirmed the hereditary factors owing to hypertension, 60% of the subjects said that hypertension could lead to arthritis. Excess salt consumption was the most recognized risk factor (84%). 60% stated that a hypertensive patient always suffers from symptoms. 39% thought treatment should be started after more than one blood pressure reading. Conclusion: It is essential to perform further screening on hypertension awareness levels on a larger scale of population.

Hypertension also referred to as high blood pressure, in which the arteries have persistent high blood pressure. This results in a condition where the heart has to work harder than normal to flow blood through the vessels. A few years ago, there was no sufficient information about the epidemiology of hypertension, treatment protocols and its consequences in Egypt. Lately, there has been a major change in health system in Egypt, including research development. Objectives: To evaluate the existing data on prevalence, levels of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in Egypt with a view of suggestive actions that could enhance control of hypertension and improve quality of life of the patients. Methods: Six databases (Pub Med, Cochrane, MEDLINE, Sciencedirect, MedEase, Embase) were searched in November 2013, applying the following criteria: published from January 1995 to November 2013 written in English and carried out on human subjects. Results: 21 studies were included in the systematic review of the prevalence, awareness, and control of hypertension in Egypt. The sample size ranged from 27 subjects to 12008 subjects, and the age range from 6-95 years. Every study had both male and female representatives. In most of the studies, the women were more than the men. Conclusion: There are declines in the levels of awareness of hypertension and even lower levels of control. Research is required to reveal reasons behind these near to the ground levels of control and treatment, and especially awareness, in order to put in the picture policy for the improvement of quality of life of hypertensive patients in Egypt - See more at: http://eurekaselect.com/127009#sthash.xwRorn7g.dpuf

Unfortunately, here in kasr el-aini hospital there is a gap between doctors and pharmacists despite correlation between their studies and work. Clinical pharmacist has proved to be very helpful to physician in many hospital
.Despite this fact, most of medical students in kasr el-aini don’t know the meaning of clinical pharmacy. Students in medical collage think of pharmacist as salesman. This gap leads to medical errors. It is important to study about the role of pharmacist in the process of treatment, who deal with the drug better and know more about side effect, contraindication and drug interaction?This gap between our doctors and pharmacist need to be filled to provide patients with best health care.
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of applying the clinical pharmacy education among Kasr El-Aini medical students as well as exploring the possible collaboration perspectives between students of both medical and pharmacy collage. Also, the study aimed to explore the team work concept among both the medical and pharmacy student after graduation. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among both medical and pharmacy students. The study included 123 medical students aged from 19-24 years who agreed to participate in the study and 100 student from pharmacy college aged from 18-25 years . A questionnaire was distributed to the study participants to explore their training experience and measure their knowledge regarding the medical system and the treatment process flow cycle.The study revealed that 60% of medical student don’t know what
the clinical pharmacist is, 7% never heard about it. Also, 14% of the medical students think the pharmacist is useless. While 69% of them didn’t study about the role of pharmacist in treatment process. As for the pharmacy students, 33% of them see the doctor as arrogant person and 29% see doctor ignorant about drugs. Also, 26% of pharmacy students perceive the doctor as competitor and 29% wouldn’t accept that the doctor correct them if they admit an error about drug or drug reaction.The study revealed a wide gap between the medical and pharmacy students. They don’t know that they are on the same side, which make them as doctors and pharmacist competitors more than one team . Need to teach them how to work as one team, how to cooperate together for providing the best medical care to the patient .
