Globally, deaths due to rheumatic heart disease have been decreasing over the past 30 years. But a closer look at the data tells a bigger story. In low-income countries, #RHD continues to grow. It’s time to take action to protect the most vulnerable.

There are few people in my life about whom I can say that I wouldn't be where I am without them: Paul was one of them. He fought for social justice and against structural violence long before the world was aware. I'll continue fighting the fight! @PIH @NCDIpoverty @PIH_Rwanda

How do we empower providers in low and middle income countries to diagnose and treat heart failure? Focused cardiac ultrasound can be done, and done well, by front-line providers throughout the world. Great paper by @sheilaklassen. https://t.co/SYnjYy7uh8 @NCDIpoverty @PIH

As we gather for #WHA74 this week, we call on @WHO & member states to ensure that #healthsystems strengthening is central to commitments, inclusive of vulnerable populations living with severe #NCDs - as important as ever due to #COVID19.

Investing to end RHD must include treating existing disease, not just prevention! This will require broad implementation and integration into existing health systems. https://t.co/6vAndZQTqu @NCDIpoverty @RHDAction @worldheartfed @PIH #RHD
