END RHD

Our vision is that no child dies of rheumatic heart disease in Australia.

[END RHD CRE @END_RHD_CRE]

“RHD is a scary and unpredictable disease. Tackling RHD is a priority for our communities, but we need to do it in a culturally safe way.” The RHD Endgame Strategy lays the foundation to eliminate RHD in Australia. This is what it means to community.
