Expanding Cardiovascular Disease Education and Treatment in Kenya

This proposal outlines a program expansion in Kenya aimed at addressing the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) associated with HIV/AIDS. It identifies key factors such as untreated hypertension, infection, autoimmune mechanisms, and metabolic issues contributing to CVD in the region. The initiative focuses on integrating CVD education into primary care facilities, training healthcare providers, and establishing a dedicated cardiac unit. The aim is to enhance awareness, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in tandem with the existing HIV/AIDS programs, ensuring sustainable healthcare improvements.

  1. A Proposal for Program Expansion In Kenya

  2. Jhpiego in Kenya Kenya

  3. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Cardiomyopathy • Causative factors observed in Africans: • “Burnt-out” untreated hypertension • Infection and myocarditis • Autoimmune mechanisms • Iron overload & other metabolic factors • Genetic factors • Nutritional deficiency • Pregnancy Epidemiological Transition

  4. Etiology of Cardiac Effects of HIV/AIDS • HIV directly affecting the heart • Opportunistic infections or treatment/prophylaxis of opportunistic infections • Effects of Highly Active Anti-retroviral Therapy (HAART) on the heart • Non-HIV cardiac risk factors (such as Diabetes Mellitus or Hypertension • Mode of acquisition of HIV (intravenous drug use related complications)

  5. Objective • Innovation through expansion of CDC Education Expansion Program centered on HIV/AIDS • Target primary care facilities for widespread and long-term impacts • Include cardiovascular disease focus to expand awareness of prevention and treatment

  6. Business Plan Begin Cardiovascular Center Year 4: Cardiac Unit Continue original process YES Year 3: Evaluate Cardiac Unit Is it effective? Year 1: Research & Development Integrating Programs NO Year 2: Cardiac Unit Begin treating patients

  7. Research & Development • Month 1 - 4 • Research proper/effective procedures • Month 5 - 12 • Educational outreach to health care work force • Doctors training volunteers

  8. CDC Pre-service Education Strengthening • Integrate, strengthen, and train faculty cardiovascular disease into curricula • Assist in initiating training of health care providers in the curricula • Develop procedures for quality assurance in training

  9. Cardiac Unit • Month 1 - 4 • Completecardiac unit setup • Month 5 – 12 • Begin taking in patients http://foundationforglobalchange.wordpress.com/about/ http://www.gereports.com/healthcare-in-kenya-designing-rural-tech-from-the-ground-up/
