Lower-sodium salt substitutes contain less sodium than regular salt and often include potassium, with or without other agents, to achieve a similar flavour. 🧂 WHO recommends increasing potassium intake from food sources to reduce blood pressure and risk of cardiovascular diseases.

@kfaisalhospital Congratulations to the Rwanda–Swiss Heart Project team on this milestone. Managing surgical and catheter-based cases from neonatal procedures to complex congenital repairs showcases exceptional teamwork, skill, and dedication to advancing cardiac care.

1/2 A major milestone for the Rwanda–Swiss Heart Project 33 patients treated last week: 18 surgeries, 15 cath lab cases. From a 9-day-old newborn arterial switch to highly complex repairs, the team handled a wide spectrum of cases.

@RwandaNCDA @ghisnovich @RusiziDistrict @RwandaWest @RBCRwanda @RwandaHealth @DrMucumbitsiJ @Mbalphonse1 @WHORwanda @eancdalliance @ncdalliance @nsanzimanasabin @strokeaction_RW commends this valuable initiative. Integrating free NCD screening into Car Free Day supports early detection, strengthens prevention efforts, and fosters community awareness, empowering individuals to take informed, proactive steps toward better health outcomes.

One of the key activities Rwanda NCD Alliance conducts during every Car Free Day is offering free NCD screening to all participants and community members interested in knowing their #NCD status. This initiative was once again carried out yesterday during @RusiziDistrict Car Free Day, ensuring that alongside promoting physical activity, people also had the opportunity to check and understand their #NCD status. By combining sports with preventive health services, we continue to strengthen awareness and empower communities to take proactive steps toward healthier lives.
