OFF THE HOOK WITH SALLY J (09 JULY 2020)
This evening we are focusing on the raising awareness for cardiovascular health, which is the health of your heart.
Heart disease is responsible for one in every four deaths and is the worldwide leading cause of death.
Every year, it kills more people than all forms of cancer combined.
Many people think of heart problems as conditions that only affect adults. But the fact is, 1 out of every 120 babies in the worldwide is born with heart disease.
That makes congenital heart disease the most common type of birth defect.
This evening we speak to Dr Godfrey Mawabala who is a healthcare practitioner, specialising as a Paediatric Cardiologist, in Ongwediva, Oshana, Namibia on Congenital Heart Disease
