Episode 4 in the new series of Good Will Hunters has just aired, featuring Dr Rosemary Wyber, on the topic of Rheumatic Heart Disease. SDG3.4 focuses on reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases, which includes heart diseases, stroke, cancer, lung disease and more. We couldn't do justice to them all in a single episode, so I've chosen to focus on heart diseases and Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) more specifically. Rosemary's doctoral research focused on RHD in Australia and internationally, and she was the lead author of the RHD Endgame Strategy to eliminate RHD in Australia. Her postdoctoral research continues to address RHD and broader heart health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. She also contributes to research on broader primary care delivery and socioeconomic determinants of health. This episode was a great reminder of the importance of cultural sensitivity in health settings - a theme which has woven through the whole series! Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts. 🎙
