Description
Pedro Ordunez and Jarbas Barbosa da Silva introduce a journal issue on joining heart, kidney, and metabolic care in primary clinics across the Americas, in a 2026 editorial. These linked diseases drive much early death and cost in the region. Proven treatments exist, yet timely diagnosis and steady care stay unequal.
A regional initiative now runs in 34 countries and territories, with about fourteen thousand clinics taking part and over ten million people in treatment for high blood pressure. Control rates among treated patients range from half to four fifths. The editors argue the next step is not just wider access but better organised, joined-up care. Their programme's next phase aims at that integration.
