Civil society?s role in improving hypertension control in Latin America

Beatriz M. Champagne et al.

Summary: Despite efforts in Latin America, hypertension control remains inadequate due to insufficient political and systemic change. Civil society can play a crucial role in prioritizing hypertension control by analyzing the political landscape, designing advocacy plans, and implementing strategies to increase political will and community awareness. This approach can lead to more sustainable and scalable hypertension control, better health outcomes, and progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and universal health coverage.
