Once passed, a Resolution will form a global commitment on RHD. Decision-makers, including governments and the WHO, will then have to recognize RHD as a global priority, and approach and fund it appropriately.<\/p>\n<p>Through RHD Action \u2013 a movement co-founded by the World Heart Federation in 2014 \u2013 the WHF has been supporting the government of New Zealand and a number of other countries to pass a Resolution on RHD. A draft Resolution will be discussed by countries at the next session of the WHO Executive Board from 01-02 June 2017 in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the Starter Pack<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To help you advocate in your own country, we have prepared an RHD Resolution Starter Pack.
