Ahead of government discussions at the 71st World Health Assembly on a Resolution on Rheumatic Fever (RF) and Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD), RHD Action and our partners will host an interactive side event – United to End RHD – from 6.15pm – 8.00pm on Wednesday 23rd May at the Graduate Institute in Geneva, Switzerland.
  
This event – co-sponsored by the governments of New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and Namibia – will focus on the impact of a Resolution on RF and RHD on those who matter most: people living with RHD and frontline health workers delivering essential RHD services.
The event will be moderated by Natalie Africa (United Nations Foundation), and speakers at the event will include:
