Rheumatic heart disease #RHD is a condition which affects 39 million people worldwide. Every year, the disease claims 291,000 lives, mostly in low- and middle-income countries. RHD most commonly occurs in childhood and can lead to death or life-long disability.

By joining forces with the best minds, we know we can achieve our goal of developing a safe & effective #StrepA vaccine for the prevention of pharyngitis to stop post-Strep A immune mediated diseases such as acute rheumatic fever & rheumatic heart disease #RHD.

It's #WorldHeartDay. It's an opportunity for all of us to stop and consider how best to #useheart.

Because beating cardiovascular disease is something that matters to every beating heart.

Insightful panel discussion following📽️The @TakeHeartRHD: Deadly Heart screening. Sharing heartbreaking stories of lived experiences and devastating loss, this film highlights the importance of funding community-led services to prevent #RHD and keep families strong and together.

[Take Heart @TakeHeartRHD]

It’s time for our governments to invest in #RHD prevention programs led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Hear more from Vicki in Deadly Heart. Catch the film on QANTAS in-flight entertainment and coming soon to @sbsondemand
