END RHD is an alliance of health, research and community organisations seeking to amplify efforts to end rheumatic heart disease in Australia through advocacy and engagement. END RHD is the first time such a broad-based alliance has come together to pool their collective expertise. END RHD is:
- Working with the communities most at risk of rheumatic heart disease in Australia. Only through Indigenous-owned, community-led strategies will we be able to successfully tackle the disease.
- Securing funding and the political will to turn the world class research conducted by the End Rheumatic Heart Disease Centre of Research Excellence (END RHD CRE) into action.
- Educating and empowering Australians about the role they can play in ending rheumatic heart disease
