Transforming Heart Health in Remote Communities
Update: 2024-06-24
Description
In this episode, we travel to Barunga - a remote town in the Northern Territory, and the birthplace of a groundbreaking initiative poised to transform heart health in remote Aboriginal communities: the Remote Laundries project.
We delve into the stark realities of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and the ingenious solutions being crafted to confront its profound impact. Through interviews with survivors like Kenya McAdam and influential figures such as Heart Foundation CEO David Lloyd, we look at the connection between skin infections and the onset of RHD, and the unique challenges faced in tackling this issue.
