So proud of rising 🌟 @AliyaIzumi, giving 👏 presentation on 🌐 distribution of women in cardiac surgery at #EACTS2024.
At 8% 🌐, women are severely underrepresented in 🫀 surgery, but @AliyaIzumi@gracelee_lsh & coauthors are helping create an equitable & more inclusive future.
#CVD is the leading cause of mortality.
Despite ⬆️ need for tertiary care *AND* 🌐 disparities, surgical/interventional voices are scarce at #HealthPolicy fora.
In #JACCAdvances, I share some ways for #HeartTeams to 📶 (inter)national policy engagement:

The 77th World Health Assembly #WHA77@WHO kicks off soon.
Despite costing 20+ million lives yearly & 6 BILLION PEOPLE without access to #GlobalCardiacSurgery, 🫀 care = absent on #GlobalHealth agenda.
It's time to come together.

In just over a week, #WHA77 will start in Geneva 🇨🇭–my priorities are clear:
🌐 6 billion people lack access to 🫀 surgery.
❤️🩹 1 in 100 children are born with #CHD; >90% do not get the care they need.
‼️ >40 million people live with #RHD.

10+ days post @WHOAFRO#ICPPA in Dar Es Salaam on severe #NCDs and I am still in awe of what a fantastic leader @RuthNgwaro has grown into!
Born w/ #CHD, she advocates for others like her as a @GlobalARCH board member & as @NCDIPoverty#PENPlus global voice
👏🏽👏🏽❤️🫀

Exciting to see @THINK__AORTA grow around the world, including more and more #LMICs!
Thoracic aortic disease burdens are growing 🌐, yet care capacity & awareness are trailing in LMICs.
⬆️ research, capacity-building, & financial risk protection are 🔑: https://t.co/lvk1EA4zlr
#GlobalCardiacSurgery volumes are poorly defined but far too low to meet 🫀 disease burdens.
Volume targets can guide policy and planning to 📶 cardiac surgical capacity 🌐.
In @annals_short, we propose targets by country income group & disease burdens: https://t.co/72OmIknIx9
Disparities in access to 🫀 surgical care = expressed differently across populations.
📶 access requires efforts at intersection of individuals' multiple identities & traditions.
@MedHums_BMJ, we redefine #GlobalCardiacSurgery w/ intersectionality lens: https://t.co/vWe5lGbDKr
Incredibly humbled by the annual African Association of Thoracic and Cardio-Vascular Surgeons meeting, and in awe by 📈 efforts by African 🫀 leaders.
Thank you to Prof. @YangniH for invitation to discuss #GlobalCardiacSurgery & deliver remarks to 🇨🇮 Ministry of Health & media.
