The RHD Endgame
The End Rheumatic Heart Disease Centre of Research Excellence (END RHD CRE) was established in 2014 to address the urgent need for a comprehensive, evidence-based plan to eliminate rheumatic heart disease (RHD).
The RHD Endgame Strategy: The blueprint to eliminate rheumatic heart disease in Australia by 2031 is the culmination of work bringing together the collective experience of communities, clinicians, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations, government and non-government organisations, in addition to more than 25 years of research, means the knowledge and evidence base now exists to eliminate rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in Australia.
The Endgame Strategy brings together this experience, knowledge and evidence for the first time, presenting an opportunity for Australia to implement a comprehensive, long-term strategy to end rheumatic heart disease.
