Resolve to Save Lives recently facilitated our third training for country leaders overseeing hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and noncommunicable disease programs, “Strengthening Capacity and Leadership for Hypertension Control (SCALE-HTN Control),” in collaboration with WHO EMRO and WHO HQ. We brought together more than 30 participants representing ministries of health and WHO Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia and Africa CDC and facilitated learning and peer-exchange on how to design, implement, scale, and improve hypertension control programs.
Completing the training is a commendable commitment from countries to work toward reaching 50% population-level hypertension control —an achievement that could save millions of lives in the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
A total of 81 participants representing 20 countries have completed the training.
Together, we’re making real progress on global blood pressure control.
