Healthy Heart Africa

What is the Healthy Heart Africa programme?

非洲心脏健康计划于2014年启动，旨在解决非洲日益加重的心血管疾病负担, with the goal of reaching 10 million people with hypertension by 2025.

Partnering with governments, healthcare providers and local communities, 澳门第一赌城在线娱乐的卫生保健和保健规划以最需要的人群为目标，改善公平获得保健的机会，帮助各国解决心脏和肾脏疾病日益加重的社会和经济负担.

Over the past decade, the programme has:

• Expanded into nine countries across Sub-Saharan Africa
• Conducted over 54.5 million blood pressure screenings.¹
• Trained more than 11,480 healthcare workers.¹
• Identified over 10.8 million people with elevated blood pressure readings.¹
• Activated more than 1,515 healthcare facilities to provide hypertension services.¹

As of end March 2024, we have surpassed our 2025 target by identifying over 10.8 million people with elevated blood pressure, to be referred for appropriate treatment.

Healthy Heart Africa is expanding impact and partnerships

Prioritising chronic kidney disease (CKD)

HHA aligns with our business strategy, broadening its focus to NCDs including CKD in line with the Cardiovascular, Renal, and Metabolism (CVRM) portfolio. 该规划从一开始就让各国政府参与塑造卫生保健生态系统，重点关注政策和医疗宣传以及实施工作.

澳门第一赌城在线娱乐的应对措施包括一项全面战略，以改善获得预防和筛查服务的机会, 特别是对于慢性肾脏疾病，这是一个与心脏病和其他非传染性疾病一起严重且不断升级的公共卫生问题, focusing especially on populations at risk, such as those with hypertension and type-2 diabetes.

Despite affecting an estimated 15% of people in Africa, higher than the global average, 由于公众意识低下和卫生政策不足，慢性肾脏疾病往往未被发现 undertreated.^2,3 Moreover, 极端高温等环境因素会增加这些疾病的严重程度和死亡的可能性.⁴

Measuring impact and sustainability

HHA tracks its impact through various metrics, including:

• Education and awareness outreach
• Screening and early detection numbers
• Access to guidelines-based care
• Health system resilience indicators

该方案的目的是在关键报告指数和出版物的支持下取得高价值的成果.

Expanding patient reach

In addition to its core initiatives, HHA identifies pathways to further expand patient reach, ensuring broader impact and sustainability.

By improving health equity and enhancing the resilience of health systems, we strive to create lasting change that will benefit millions across the continent. Join us in our efforts to build a healthier, more equitable Africa.
