In Nigeria, an estimated 30 million people live with high blood pressure, yet only 12% have it under control. We recently hosted a training with @Fmohnigeria and the @PVAC_NG to improve access to affordable, high-quality cardiovascular medicines in Nigeria.
Access to medicine can mean the difference between life and death for more than 1B people worldwide living with high blood pressure.

Very productive conversation today with a good friend of so many years, Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden, President and CEO of Resolve to Save Lives @ResolveTSL, and his team on advancing our fight against non-communicable diseases (#NCDs) and building a stronger health sector for Nigeria. Over the years, this partnership with RTSL has delivered real results—from integrating NCD management into primary healthcare, recently empowering millions through the “Know Your Numbers” campaign, led by State governments, and strengthening our core public health capacities.
Resolve to Save Lives has been a key ally in reinforcing Nigeria’s health security framework. Initiatives like the 7-1-7 target for rapid outbreak detection and response, along with new collaborative surveillance systems, are essential steps toward a robust, future-ready infrastructure capable of managing health threats swiftly. Their support extends to policy reforms that promote local production of essential medicines, reducing our reliance on imports and ensuring Nigerians have access to affordable, quality medications.
Strengthening this collaboration is crucial as we pursue the ambitious target we have set under the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Initiative (NHSRII) in line with Mr President’s @officialABAT Agenda to improve quality health outcomes for all Nigerians. Together, we are creating a health system that not only meets today’s needs but is resilient enough to face tomorrow’s challenges. Our shared commitment is clear: to close the gap in access to quality care, safeguard public health, and ensure every Nigerian has the healthcare they deserve, securing a brighter, healthier future for all.
