Childhood-onset heart disease: new partnership

The Heart Foundation and HeartKids have formed a partnership to address the needs of children, and their families, with childhood-onset heart disease (CoHD). Aiming to reduce the impact of CoHD, the partnership will: deliver community awareness campaigns on CoHD and its impact; advocate for improved health services and funding; support new research programs to help advance treatment options and management; and work to reduce the impact of rheumatic heart disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
