CaRHD-In members awarded RHD Action small grant 2018 to support a Rheumatic Heart Disease Clinic in Yaounde Cameroon

Most of the patient suffering from rheumatic heart disease they encounter didn’t have proper and specific follow-up, this leading to inobservance to secondary prophylaxis. The team agree to create a clinic dedicated to children suffering from this silent killer.

The clinic will be scheduled monthly, during the appointment, children will receive secondary prophylaxis with benzathine penicillin for free, and educative talk will be conducted with carers and children so as to empower them.
