La promotion de la santé est un moyen efficace pour accroître la participation individuelle et collective à l’action sanitaire, susciter la demande des produits de santé et favoriser l’utilisation des services de soins. L’approche a été recommandée en 1986 suite à l’adoption de la ch...arte d’Ottawa par les États membres de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS). Depuis cette
date, plusieurs conférences internationales ont porté sur l’élucidation de différents aspects de la charte. De nouvelles données ont éveillé les consciences sur les inégalités de santé et encouragé les États à agir dans le sens de l’équité en matière de santé.

The pharmacological treatment of heart failure has evolved over the last three decades since the demonstration of the effect of angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitors on major cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Composite analysis of heart failure wi...th reduced ejection fraction trials and the recent identification of newer drug treatments show early benefits on the major cardiovascular outcomes, ushering in a change of the treatment strategy; from a ‘sequential’ initiation of the treatments to a ‘simultaneous’ initiation to harness the early benefits. The adoption and implementation of these changes at the bedside have been dismal in many healthcare settings. Papua New Guinea, like many other lower-to-middle-income countries, is facing many barriers that impact on the care of heart failure patients. It needs to adopt and implement these changes to provide evidence-based treatment for its people with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
