We support local and national efforts and global policies that maximize health gains
We are mission-driven and have deep technical expertise.
We support staff who live in the countries or regions in which we work. We strive to create a fit-for-purpose workplace that is respectful, diverse, inclusive and supportive. Our governance reflects deep knowledge of the areas where we work and the diversity of the people we serve.
We work with governments and partners across the globe to co-create, advocate for, and scale up activities in two core areas:
High blood pressure is the world's leading cause of death. Despite availability of safe, effective and low cost treatment, only one out of seven adults with hypertension have their blood pressure controlled. We work with partners to reduce heart attack and stroke by:
The world is vulnerable to the next health threat because most people live in countries that are not well prepared to find, stop and prevent dangerous infectious diseases such as COVID-19. We partner with countries to step up preparedness by:
High cost, low availability and variable quality of blood pressure drugs hurt efforts to address hypertension, the world’s leading cause of death. In a new report, @ResolveTSL and @MSF detail strategies to improve access to essential medicine. https://t.co/RR9wtZ8ITH@haregide28

Microbes don't respect borders. We need to take the fight to health threats wherever they emerge—it saves more lives and costs less money to fight outbreaks at their source than on our shores.

Nurses are considered to make the biggest contribution to society, according to a recent survey by @YouGov.

We released a new report, developed in collaboration with the Médecins Sans Frontières Access project, that identifies barriers to affordable blood pressure medication in LMICs and underscores the need for a transformation of the global blood pressure medicines market to make life-saving medicines more affordable and available.
Our U.S. COVID-19 Response team embedded staff members with the Wake County, North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (WCHHS) to protect and improve community health during the pandemic. Beginning in February 2021, WCHHS began implementing a vaccine equity strategy to reach underserved communities. One of the prioritized census tracts increased vaccinations by 29.7% relative to other non-prioritized tracts in the county. Canvassing efforts and geo-targeted information campaigns were instrumental in building trust between community members and vaccine providers, which led to more people getting vaccinated through word-of-mouth encouragement.
Since 2017, Resolve to Save Lives has helped the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the African Field Epidemiology Network establish and maintain the Revolving Outbreak Investigation Fund (ROIF). This provides for the rapid release of funds for the NCDC to investigate, verify and control infectious outbreaks. With this support, Nigeria has reduced its average viral threat response time from six to two days.
