New publication! 📰 🏥 Primary care management improvement 🗺 Patient pathway optimization 👨⚕️👩⚕️ Workforce up-skilling The Novartis Foundation identified these three areas as key elements for generating sustainable impact in cardiovascular population health based on a survey of patients, health care professionals and health system representatives in São Paulo, Brazil. As a consequence, a package of solutions was designed, promptly taken up and deployed by the municipal health secretariat, yielding exceptional results. This package of solutions is now already being implemented in other Brazilian cities, and available for all cities in the region interested to implement the successful 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐎4𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 approach to improve the heart health of their populations.

1moThis will be revolutionary. I have initiated discussions with key stakeholders to replicate similar model in Kano, Nigeria. Its the most populous state in Nigeria and sits at a crossroad between all the states in northern Nigeria and neighbouring west African countries. The Kano state Centre for disease control, the University Africa Centre for Population Health and Policy and other organisations such as eHealth Africa and eDokta healthcare will be interested in this. It will be like an implementation science research and execution project.
