Rheumatic Heart Disease is a chronic heart condition, caused by rheumatic fever, that needlessly kills and disables people living in extreme poverty. High prevalence of the disease has become a marker of poverty and an important factor feeding growing health inequities.

Treating strep throat with antibiotics can prevent rheumatic fever. Regular antibiotics (usually monthly injections) can prevent patients with rheumatic fever from contracting further strep infections and causing progression of valve damage. The antibiotic (benzathine penicillin G) most often used is off-patent and can be administered through basic primary care for just cents.
