Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality across the Pacific, placing heavy strain on our already stretched health systems. Our region continues to record some of the highest rates of RHD globally.

As requested by FMO in Fiji, I will be virtually sharing key facts, clinical features, current guidelines, and what RHD means for our Pacific communities, including the challenges and way forward.

What is your role in dealing with RHD? If you’re a frontline healthcare worker/a policy maker, this talk is for you.

Join us tomorrow, 25/02/26, from 1–2pm.
PM me for the link.

So nice to see Ana doing well now as an adult and an RHD champion. I remember her from my time at Labasa Hospital in 2012–2013. She was always compliant with her benzathine penicillin and well supported by her family.

It was an incredible honour to attend the 9th World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery and to share a glimpse of our Pacific story. My sincere thanks to Dr. Kirsten Finucaine for introducing me to this platform.

The congress was a powerful experience, learning from global experts about the history, current work, and future directions in this field, while also putting faces to the names I’ve only known through journals and emails. From hearing directly from patients about their lived experiences to meeting the developers of Strep vaccines, every moment reinforced the importance of collaboration.

Though we may sometimes feel isolated in our small island nations, this gathering reminded me that we are not alone. We are united in the shared mission of improving care for children with heart disease, and I was deeply moved by the willingness of everyone to contribute in whatever way they can.

I return home inspired, hopeful, and committed to strengthening these connections so that together, we can make a lasting difference.

Vinaka & Ko Rabwa Phyllis Kala of Heart Heroes Fiji and Thomas Russell for helping me with my presentation. Much appreciated.

❤️
