Global Access to Comprehensive Care for Paediatric and Congenital Heart Disease

© 2023 The Author(s)..

Paediatric and congenital heart disease (PCHD) is common but remains forgotten on the global health agenda. Congenital heart disease is the most frequent major congenital anomaly, affecting approximately 1 in every 100 live births. In high-income countries, most children now live into adulthood, whereas in low- and middle-income countries, over 90% of patients do not get the care they need. Rheumatic heart disease is the most common acquired cardiovascular disease in children and adolescents. While almost completely eradicated in high-income countries, over 30-40 million people live with rheumatic heart disease in low- and middle-income countries. Challenges exist in the care for PCHD and, increasingly, adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) worldwide. In this review, we summarize the current status of PCHD and ACHD care through the health systems lens of workforce, infrastructure, financing, service delivery, information management and technology, and governance. We further highlight gaps in knowledge and opportunities moving forward to improve access to care for all those living with PCHD or ACHD worldwide.
