Screening and Secondary Prevention Rheumatic Heart Disease Study

Screening for RHD should be carried out since it is a major health concern that has been shown to have a treatable and detectable latent stage that can be diagnosed using a simple sensitive test (point of care ultrasound) and early treatment (secondary prevention using antibiotic prophylaxis) can provide a better outcome (slow progression of disease) in a cost effective way. The investigators aim to study the Incidence and Prevalence of RHD in community and school settings and aim to intervene depending on the stage the disease is picked up in.
