Spotlight on African heart health
Healthcare leaders gathered in Adelaide to tackle heart health disparities affecting African Australian communities, with AMA SA backing the initiative.
AMA SA proudly supported the Second Annual African Australian Heart Health Initiative (AAHHI) Medical Symposium, held at the Adelaide Convention Centre on 19 July.
This important event offered professional development for healthcare providers focused on improving cardiovascular and general health outcomes for Australians of African descent.
AMA SA was represented by Councillor Dr Jayanathi Jayakaran, who commended AAHHI and its founder, Dr Chukwudiebube (Chuks) Ajaero, for their vital work in highlighting the unique healthcare needs of African Australian communities.
‘It is wonderful that Chuks’ concerns for South Australians of African lineage and descent have led to his determination to do something positive and that he has inspired peers and colleagues to contribute their time and expertise to this very significant cause,’ Dr Jayakaran said.
