Despite being a preventable and treatable condition, RHD continues to affect many patients and places a heavy burden on our healthcare system. As we stand at the precipice of progress in combating ARF and RHD, a renewed call to critically review our control strategies and research priorities is imperative.

The path forward requires a comprehensive re-evaluation, and much work lies ahead to achieve our goal of eradicating ARF and RHD.
