Resolve to Save Lives(RTSL)is a US-based, global public health organization with a mission to prevent 100 million deaths from heart disease and to make the world safer from epidemics.

The initiative also supports country implementation for activities to enhance disease and contextual/risk data through strengthened surveillance and innovations in epidemic intelligence, effective use of existing and emergent data throughout the event lifecycle (from anticipatory action to risk communication during emergencies), and development of data tools and products that support key decision-makers from communities, health sector officials, and policymakers.
