“These are serious health conditions that could be prevented... by addressing living conditions and housing." “We have rates up here of up to 35 people per house, for a 3-bedroom home, so it’s not surprising that people have [rheumatic heart disease].” - @DanilaDilba #HousingNT
On the back of the latest @aihw report into rates of RHD, our Head of Strategy, Dr @Kaddy_Noonan, spoke to the @GuardianAus about the urgent need for comprehensive action to tackle this preventable disease.
