ACT Global is a worldwide network working to improve care for people living with rheumatic heart disease. Clinicians, researchers, health systems, and partners all have a role to play, and this network is how they connect around it.
RHD care requires coordination among a wide range of groups: clinics and hospitals, referral centers, public health teams, researchers, and funders. ACT Global helps bring them into a shared structure.
Local sites use ACT to support patient management and help build a stronger understanding of RHD care needs, treatment patterns, and outcomes.
Universities and academic medical centers bring clinical expertise to the network. Some contribute through data analysis, others through implementation learning or research leadership.
Hospitals, clinics, and clinical networks implement ACT and use data to strengthen RHD care in their settings.
Global health organizations support advocacy and policy alignment. They also play a part in capacity building and in building broader recognition of RHD as a preventable public health priority.
Funders and supporters help sustain the network's work. Their support goes toward platform development, site onboarding, and training, as well as research activity across the network.
ACT Global collaborates with healthcare institutions, research centers, and clinics worldwide. These sites contribute patient data to ACT and help improve the quality of RHD care globally.
ACT Global’s local sites are central to the network’s work. Each site contributes local expertise, patient care experience, and implementation learning that strengthens RHD care across the network.
ACT Global invites clinical sites, health systems, and researchers working in RHD care to explore participation in the network.
Participation gives approved sites access to ACT, implementation support, training resources, and opportunities for shared learning with global collaborators.
Organizations working in RHD care, cardiovascular research, or global health capacity building are encouraged to contact us to explore collaboration.
