Where Lived Experience Leads. A health advocacy movement amplifying voices, challenging stigma, and driving inclusive, people-centred health solutions in Zimbab

[Zimbabwe Initiative for Health Actiom(ZIHA) @zihazimbabwe]

AN OLDER PERSON IS NOT A DIAGNOSIS.

Not a burden.
Not a statistic.

A person with experience, knowledge, relationships, dreams and rights.

❤️ DON’T MISS A BEAT

Heart disease can hide in plain sight.

Every heartbeat matters. Every voice matters.

ACCESS IS MORE THAN A CLINIC DOOR.

Can an older person afford care, reach a facility, access medicines, understand information, return for follow-up, and communicate their needs?

Healthcare must be affordable, accessible, inclusive and respectful for all.
#HealthcareForAll

[Zimbabwe Initiative for Health Actiom(ZIHA) @zihazimbabwe]

❤️ ONE PERSON. ONE LIFE. ONE HEART.

People don’t live in separate health programmes.
Heart health connects with diabetes, hypertension, mental health, disability and more.
Treat the whole person.

LIVED EXPERIENCE IS EVIDENCE.

People living with cardiovascular disease know what works, what doesn’t, and what must change in care.

Listen. Include. Act.

AGE WITH DIGNITY. LIVE WITH HEALTH.

Growing older should never mean losing dignity, voice or the right to quality healthcare.

Older people are rights-holders, decision-makers and partners in healthier communities.

AGEING IS NOT A DISEASE.
Growing older is part of life.
What should never become “normal” is ageism, neglect, inaccessible healthcare or being dismissed because of age.
Every age. Every voice. Every right.

PROTECT YOUR HEART
Move more.
Choose healthier foods.
Avoid tobacco.
Check your blood pressure.
Know your risks.
Every step counts.

❤️ KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You can feel well and still have hypertension.
Don’t wait for a heart attack to discover your numbers.
🩺 Check. Know. Act.
Don’t Miss a Beat.
