Kampala – 29th September, 2021- Uganda joins the rest of the World to commemorate World Heart Day and to raise awareness about heart disease. In this time of COVID-19, cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients are at an increased risk of developing severe forms of COVID-19 disease.
People living with CVD are at a higher risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus. These need joint effort from friends and family to help them attend to their routine and emergency appointments. Thus Uganda Heart Institute this year is harnessing the power of digital health to improve awareness, prevention and management of CVD in Uganda.
