This panel discussion explores the implementation and impact of the HEARTS technical package by the World Health Organization, launched as part of the Global Health Initiative in 2018. The HEARTS initiative is aimed at managing hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors at the primary care level across more than 40 countries. It provides a systematic public health approach to tackle hypertension using a simplified module that includes guidelines for drug protocols, ensuring the availability of blood pressure devices, access to essential medicines, and the establishment of team-based care approaches.
The session delves into the real-world impacts of the HEARTS initiative, presenting case studies from various countries to highlight successes and discuss future directions. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of a simplified, scalable approach to manage hypertension globally and explores strategies for integrating these practices into primary healthcare systems to enhance the effectiveness and reach of cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment.
