At Resolve to Save Lives we have one mission: save lives. We will save 100 million lives by implementing proven solutions to prevent heart disease and stroke, the world’s leading cause of death. And we are helping the world prevent the next disease outbreak by catalyzing country action to find, stop and prevent new disease threats.
With $225 million dollars from Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Resolve to Save Lives uses proven strategies to take urgent action that improves health in low- and middle-income countries.
Our team of global health experts works with governments to help them implement evidence-based strategies that allow their citizens to lead the healthiest lives possible. The New York City-based initiative is led by Dr. Tom Frieden, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and is housed within Vital Strategies, a global health organization that works in 60 countries to address the world’s most challenging health issues. Resolve to Save Lives fits perfectly with Vital Strategies’ vision of a world where every person is protected by a strong public health system.
