Ganna Research Network

• Despite forming only 2% of Aotearoa’s population, Fiji-born individuals and their children experience over 20% of heart attacks that occur under 40-years of age. This is a significant and urgent unmet need and warrants earlier risk assessment and intervention, especially among affected families.

>Your donations will go towards being able to offer free heart health checks at major community-led events so that people at risk of having a heart attack can get fast-tracked to the medical and community support they need to prevent the heart attack!

• Community-led infrastructure and effort are key to improving ethnicity capture, research and heart health outcomes for our community from Fiji. We need community leaders from around NZ to join us in this effort.

>Your donations will go towards supporting the research network to meet, run events that raise awareness, promote health literacy, and develop Fiji-style community-led initiatives that promote health and well-being and get people inspired to participate and support each other together.
