Resolve to Save Lives (RTSL) is a global health organization that partners locally and globally to create and scale solutions to the world’s deadliest health threats. Millions of people die from preventable health threats. We collaborate to close the gap between proven, life-saving solutions and the people who need them. Since 2017, we’ve worked with governments and other partners in more than 60 countries to save millions of lives. We work toward a future where people live longer, healthier lives, communities flourish, and economies thrive. This is an ambitious vision, and it inspires us and our partners to make progress every day.

Resolve to Save Lives’ Cardiovascular Health (CVH) unit works closely with Ministries of Health and other partners to save as many lives as possible from cardiovascular disease. Recently, RTSL has expanded our cardiovascular health work to incorporate lead poisoning prevention.
