Our own Amanda McClelland joined Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Bill Gates and others at World Health Summit in Berlin on October 13, 2024 to announce a new $10 million pledge from Resolve to Save Lives to the World Health Organization to accelerate our collaborative work over the next four years and save lives from the world’s leading killer.
Our ongoing collaboration with the World Health Organization is a great example of how Resolve To Save Lives, with the support from leading philanthropic organizations and in close partnerships with countries and communities, prototypes and tests innovative solutions to the world’s deadliest health threats and supports scale-up through partnerships with governments and leading global health organizations.
This pledge will support the expansion of initiatives in low- and middle-income countries to protect an additional 2 billion people from the harms of artificial trans fats, effectively treat an additional 20 million people living with hypertension, and drive progress reducing sodium intake.
These actions are expected to prevent 5 million premature deaths over the next 25 years, adding to the 7 million lives saved through the partnership so far and building towards a goal of 100 million lives saved by 2047.
