By 2050, more than 70% of our world’s population is estimated to live in cities. Compounding with global aging of our populations and more and more people living with non-communicable diseases, health systems will face ever-growing pressures, and economic growth may stifle following productivity losses.
CARDIO4Cities is designed to address the growing burden of cardiovascular disease in cities with precision and pragmatism. By implementing CARDIO4Cities, city leaders can champion greater heart health for the populations they serve.
CARDIO4Cities aims at reducing overall cardiovascular risk (hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia), by accelerating early detection of and prompt adequate management of those risk factors and equipping decision makers and health authorities with the data and insights to tailor health interventions specifically to where they are needed most.
