Colours to Save Hearts is a programme developed by the World Heart Federation with technical and financial support from the Heart Fund, Direct Relief, Instituto Nacional de Saúde (INS), the Mozambique Institute for Health Education and Research (MIHER), the State of Geneva, and Edwards Lifesciences Foundation.
The project is being initially implemented in Mozambique, which has an estimated 3% incidence of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) – one of the highest rates among school-aged children in sub-Saharan Africa.
Colours to Save Hearts is a WHF project in Maputo, operated by MIHER and implemented by INS.
