The Pan-African Society of Cardiology (PASCAR) has partnered with RHD Action and the World Heart Federation (WHF) to fund five projects (in five different countries) to advance the “African Union Communiqué on the Eradication of RHD in Africa”. This is a competition for a policy dialogue on the AU Communiqué on National Programmes for RHD.

Our goal is to acheive a 25% reduction in mortality from rheumatic heart disease by the year 2025 in under-25-year-olds.

We are working towards this goal by giving a powerful platform to existing work in RHD prevention and control, while providing new innovative tools, guidance, and opportunities to the RHD community.

Our priorities synthesize ten key areas of RHD control, and were developed with the participation of regional bodies, RHD research groups, and global policy advocates.

These ten priorities form the core focus areas of RHD Action, and are structured in a ‘priorities pyramid’ with three main categories:
• People and communities
• Medicines and technologies
• Systems and services

The pyramid guides the programmatic work of RHD Action and informs our decision making. It reflects the primacy of people living with RHD in our activities, the essential bedrock of strong health systems, and necessary prerequisites for disease control.

In this week’s program, we talk about Rheumatic Heart Disease which is an illness that is 100% preventable, and that has mostly been eliminated from developed countries. However, Australia has the highest rate of rheumatic heart disease in the world, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples being the most at-risk population.

To find out more about Acute Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatic Heart Disease, we chat with Vicki Wade and Eddie Masina.

The RHD Action Needs Assessment Tool outlines the processes and tools recommended to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment in local communities in countries where ARF and RHD are endemic. The goal of a needs assessment is to gather baseline information to determine the needs and gaps in care for the development of targeted interventions to prevent and control ARF and RHD.

The Needs Assessment Tool User Guide is intended as a companion to the Needs Assessment Tool.
