Following his struggle to access a correct diagnosis, treatment and surgery was an eyeopener on the global inequalities regarding access to healthcare. In this case, the story had a happy ending thanks to a global network of artists and supporters who enabled surgery abroad, but for so many others a simple misdiagnosis and lack of access to healthcare is a death sentence when it comes to rheumatic heart disease. For this reason, Nanna is happy to support the work of FAAYO as a Board Member, with the hope that their advocacy and support with time can be extended to a nationwide programme. This will save lives and improve the life quality of heart disease patients in Uganda. <\/span><\/SPAN>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6ef1de58 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6ef1de58\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-292e06c0\" data-id=\"292e06c0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d57b04a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d57b04a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"255\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/faayocommunity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/KIaliisa-Jude-Photo_2-2023-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2750\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e0d0f45\" data-id=\"e0d0f45\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7aaa2736 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7aaa2736\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Kaliisa Jude<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33c161c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"33c161c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5334967c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5334967c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000080;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jude is a clinical officer for the Ministry of Health.

She was always a weak child with fast heart beats. She visited several different health centres, but they were not able to accurately diagnose the problem; their diagnosis was always malaria.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000080; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;\">Finally, a heart scan was done, and they were referred to Uganda Heart Institute for follow up of a congenital heart defect\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000080; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; text-align: left;\">called Tetralogy of Fallot<\/span><span style=\"text-align: left; color: #000080; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;\">.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000080; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; text-align: left;\">At the age of two years Redeemer had corrective surgery at Uganda Heart Institute Mulago with the support of Gift of Life International.

The community had different perceptions about heart disease, there was a knowledge gap about heart disease and a lack of access to specialised cardiac medical personnel. She was always referred to different health centres and private clinics, but Redeemer never received a proper diagnosis. Because of the myths and misconceptions in the community about heart disease, her community always discouraged them from seeking medical services, claiming that heart patients don\u2019t get healed and that they were wasting their time and resources on their child since they believed \u201cno one can touch the heart\u201d.<\/span><\/p><p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Caroline believes that by being a FAAYO Board Member and by drawing from her past experiences, she can make a positive impact by helping to change communities\u2019 perceptions about heart diseases.
