Cardiac, Stroke and Vascular Disease
Cardiac conditions are those of the heart, including heart failure and other forms of heart disease; stroke is a condition resulting from the disruption of blood flow to the brain; and vascular care focuses on conditions of the blood vessels throughout the body.
Our cardiac, stroke and vascular care program advises the Ministry of Health, hospitals and care providers to improve the quality, efficiency, accessibility and equity of care.
