Voices from the field: Our team shares insights, experiences, and reflections from the global fight for equitable cardiovascular care.
As a cardiologist, I am confronted each day by stories that lay bare the devastating consequences of lack of access to basic cardiovascular care. These are not distant tragedies; they are real, preventable losses affecting families in every corner of the globe.
Every moment of inaction is a lost opportunity to make a meaningful lasting impact on the cardiovascular health of individuals. Cardiovascular disease claims more than 18 million lives each year—each one a parent, a child, a friend, or neighbor.
In the quiet corridors of remote clinics and the crowded wards of overstretched hospitals, I have seen a troubling truth: where you live too often determines whether you live.
As an interventional cardiologist practicing in both the United States and Ghana, I have witnessed stark disparities that represent lives lost to preventable conditions. Every individual deserves access to life-saving cardiac care, regardless of where they live.
These stories represent just a fraction of the work being done every day. Join us in our mission to make cardiovascular care accessible to all.
