The need for equity in interventional cardiology care in sub-Saharan Africa

Article scientifique 2026 Anglais

Résumé

There is a growing burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). CVDs such as coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, heart block and others require procedures involving interventional cardiology. However, there is a huge unmet need for catheterization labs and expertise in health facilities in SSA. We highlight the gaps in equitable access, service delivery and the urgent need for strategic collaborations to increase equitable access to interventional cardiology in the content. This review will guide policy making and inspire innovation in SSA to bridge the existing gap in CVDs management.
