High blood pressure is one of the world’s leading causes of death. That’s why Resolve to Save Lives and World Health Organization (WHO) are empowering countries to improve blood pressure control programs at scale. A new training equips program managers with practical skills to design, implement and scale high-quality hypertension control programs adapted to their health systems.
In the year since the program launched, the training has reached 115 program managers from 20 countries across Southeast Asia, Western Pacific and Eastern Mediterranean. Through facilitated discussions, practical exercises, peer learning and field visits, participants move from technical guidance to concrete implementation decisions and action plans that they can use in their countries. As a result, leaders are better equipped to translate strategies from WHO’s HEARTS technical package into country-level action that improves blood pressure control and saves lives.
