Grantee program descriptions

HealthRise collaborated with nine local partners across Brazil, India, South Africa, and the United States that implemented a variety of interventions aimed at increasing screening for and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and diabetes and improving the management and control of these conditions. Each of the nine demonstration programs emphasized empowering patients, strengthening frontline health workers, and supporting advocacy and policy. However, the specific interventions implemented assumed a variety of forms in order to address the specific needs of each location and complement existing care platforms.

Below is a brief description of the local context and highlights of the interventions for the nine implementation partners; however, this is not a comprehensive description of HealthRise activities. A more detailed and comprehensive account of these programs can be found in the HealthRise Project Descriptions report developed by Abt Associates, from which this section borrows heavily.1
