Outreach Note
Subject: Invitation to Sign a Global Call to Action to Control High Blood Pressure
Dear [Name],
High blood pressure is the world’s leading silent killer, causing more deaths than all infectious diseases combined. But it doesn’t have to be.
Evidence shows that progress is achievable with the right policies and investments.
That’s why we’re requesting your support for the new Global Call to Action to Control High Blood Pressure.
The call to action urges governments, funders and the private sector to commit to proven actions to increase the global hypertension control rate to 50% by 2030, and will serve as a powerful advocacy tool at international forums including the World Health Assembly and UN General Assembly.
Together, we hope to secure commitments to blood pressure control and hold decision makers accountable.
As a leader in this field, your voice matters, and we would be honored if you joined the call to action here: https://onebillionhearts.resolvetosavelives.org/#call-to-action.
A list of call-to-action leads can be found below. Please let us know if you have any questions.
