"The Heart Foundation is developing a 25-year strategy; this initiative is known as Vision 2050. Coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of death in Australia — accounting for over 17,000 deaths each year. If nothing changes, Australia can expect to see 1.37 million individuals experience a cardiovascular disease (CVD) event from 2020 – 2029, resulting in $62 billion in healthcare costs and $79 billion in indirect costs. Failure to prevent the growing burden of CVD and associated chronic conditions threatens both our health system and our length and quality of life. To respond to this urgent need, the Heart Foundation is focusing on investing in and implementing a long-term, coordinated and collaborative approach to drive research, innovation and translation in CVD in Australia. Launching in 2025, the aim of Vision 2050 is to make the generation who will turn 50 in 2050 the healthiest generation of Australians ever." https://www.heartfoundation.org.au/about-us/our-strategy

Alzheimers Otago

Alzheimers Otago

Dunedin, NZ 🇳🇿

"The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease – which around two-thirds of people with dementia have. The symptoms each person experiences depend on the parts of the brain that are affected. However, the most common dementia symptoms include changes in memory, thinking, behaviour, personality, and emotions. These changes affect a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks, interfering with their everyday lives. Dementia is progressive, which means that for most people the changes gradually spread through the brain and lead to the symptoms getting worse. Dementia is different for everyone – what people experience, and how quickly they are affected is unique to them. What they can do, remember and understand may change from day to day." https://alzheimersotago.org.nz/dementia/ "Alzheimers Otago provides post-diagnostic and navigation support, information, and education." https://www.facebook.com/alzheimersotago/

"Bizim Lösemili Çocuklar Vakfı, 1980 yılında çalışmalarına başlayan ve 1983 yılında vakıflaşan kurum, 26 Ekim 1989’da kurulan ‘kemik iliği transplantasyon ünitesi’ ülkemizdeki ilk pediatrik transplantasyon ünitesi olarak tarihteki yerini aldı ve aynı yıl kemik iliği naklini çocuklarda ilk defa yapan vakıftır. Vakıf aynı zamanda 1998’de kurulan Haliç Üniversitesi'nin de kurucu vakfı oldu. Kuruluşundan sonraki ilk 30 yıl içerisinde bin 139 hastayı ilaçla tedavi eden vakıf, 199 hastaya da kemik iliği naklinin yapılmasını sağladı. Lösemili çocuklara yönelik yardım ve destek faaliyetleri “bütünsel destek” sağlamak açısından hayati önem taşımaktadır. Vakfımız tarihsel birikimiyle; ailelerin çok yönlü ihtiyaçlarını karşılayarak finansal, duygusal, eğitimsel ve lojistik destek sunarak ve lösemili çocuklar ve aileleri için daha iyi sonuçlara ve daha iyi bir yaşam kalitesine katkıda bulunarak faaliyetlerini sürdüyor. Bugün çalışanları, hasta ve aileleri ve gönüllüleriyle kocaman bir aile olan Bizim Lösemili Çocuklar Vakfı çocuklara umut olmaya devam ediyor." https://blcv.org/sayfa/kurumsal/tarihce

Viva Foundation For Children With Cancer

Singapore, SG 🇸🇬

"VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer is a Singapore-based charity which focuses on saving lives of children with cancer through research, medical care and education. Cancer is a leading cause of death by illness among children today. There are different types of cancers which afflict children, from leukaemias and brain tumours to sarcomas and others. VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer focuses on life-saving leading-edge research, medical care and education. We are racing against time to develop better treatments, faster cures and to make newer discoveries. We believe these would all translate into better survival rates with less late-effects for affected children. VIVA works very closely with the world-renowned St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (Tennessee, USA) with the ambitious aim of translating the high cure rates achieved by St Jude into Singapore and the wider Asia region. VIVA’s work to save the lives of as many children as possible is supported by a small but growing group of dedicated partners, fantastic volunteers and kind-hearted donors." https://www.viva.sg/about-us/about-viva.html
