New #ACNAPTopicOfTheMonth: valvular heart disease ❤️ We will be diving into the 2025 ESC/EACTS Guidelines for the management of valvular heart disease

New #ACNAPTopicOfTheMonth and November is all about myocarditis and pericarditis. We will be highlighting the 2025 @escardio guidelines for the management of myocarditis and pericarditis

The five core functions of primary care are: 1️⃣ First-contact accessibility – creating entry points that make health services reachable for all. 2️⃣ Continuity – fostering long-term relationships between individuals and their care teams. 3️⃣ Comprehensiveness – offering a wide range of services from prevention to palliative care. 4️⃣ Coordination – ensuring seamless care across different levels and providers. 5️⃣ People-centeredness – empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health. When these elements work together, primary care becomes a driver of better outcomes and reduced disparities. It’s not just a system—it’s a commitment to care that puts people first. #ACNAPTopicOfTheMonth

Why Primary Care Matters More Than Ever? The @WHO defines primary care as the foundation of a health system that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, coordinated, and person-focused. But what does that really mean in practice? Primary care is more than just the first point of contact—it’s a powerful tool for promoting health equity and improving population health. #ACNAPTopicOfTheMonth
