The Global Call to Action on Familial Hypercholesterolemia, FH 2019

During the 2018 FH Global Summit, the FH Foundation initiated a Global Call to Action on FH to update the original recommendations and create an advocacy tool to drive FH awareness around the world and to implement the updated recommendations. We partnered with WHF to convene the international FH Community of impacted individuals, advocacy leaders, international associations, scientific experts, policymakers and the original authors of the 1998 report to collaborate together to reexamine the recommendations and update them to meet the needs of today’s FH population.

We would like to thank the following individuals and organizations for their participation in the Global Call to Action initiative and their dedication to FH.
