Unlocking health equity through free blood pressure medications

Resolve to Save Lives

A new analysis by Resolve to Save Lives and partners is clear: removing patient copayments for anti-hypertensive medications reduces risk of heart attack, stroke, and hospitalization. Countries should explore providing free blood pressure medications as a way to save lives and meet sustainable development goals, particularly in LMICs where 80% of hypertension-related deaths occur and costs remain a significant barrier to achieving blood pressure control and reducing risk.
