As a general guide, the Roadmap is meant to serve as the foundation for the development of tailored plans of action to improve RHD control in specific contexts.
This study demonstrates the potential use of plasma metabolites to identify causality in children with severe febrile illness in malaria-endemic settings
A 7-year old boy developed myositis secondary to intramuscular injection of benzathine penicillin-G in the context of secondary prophylaxis for RF
Benzathine penicillin G has been used as monthly deep intramuscular (IM) injections since the 1950s for secondary prevention of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease (RHD).

This study describes predictors of pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage and density in Fiji
We estimate for the first time the total cost of RHD for Fiji (2008-2012) using a cost-of-illness approach and novel primary data on RHD disease burden and costs.
Leadership and collaboration has resulted in increased capacity in the Fijian health system to support children with neurodevelopmental disabilities
