Resolve to Save Lives launches as independent organization

Resolve to Save Lives starts a new chapter as an independent, U.S.-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to strengthening global public health and saving lives through public health action after five successful years of rapid expansion incubated at Vital Strategies.

Statement from Dr. Tom Frieden on WHO’s new, lifesaving hypertension guideline:

“Resolve to Save Lives, an initiative of Vital Strategies, endorses and supports the new ‘Guideline for the pharmacological treatment of hypertension in adults’ released today by the World Health Organization (WHO). We encourage countries to demonstrate their commitment to ending preventable deaths from high blood pressure by adopting and implementing WHO’s new hypertension guideline.
