A.S.A.P. News ‘n views
Cape Town Project
In May 2008, A.S.A.P. (SA) launched the surveillance study, thanks to the generous donation of
a fully-equipped mobile clinic. To date, more than 300 school children have been screened by
the team comprising a nurse, echosonographer and research-assistant. More recently, a pediatric
cardiologist has come on board to evaluate cardiac auscultation as a screening tool in our context.
It is anticipated that the required sample of around 3000 participants will be reached well within
the targeted 3-year period.
Rheumatic Fever Week 2007
The CT demonstration site once again participated in the National Department of Health designated RF Week.
Activities comprised community educational workshops taking place within the demonstration site area. The
workshops were aimed at educating parents and children about rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease,
and how these diseases can be prevented. A staff awareness session aimed at Health Workers was also conducted,
with the objective of updating health workers on sore throat management.
