    Notre histoire

    le meilleur soutien

    Amyloidosis Africa a été fondée pour répondre à une crise sanitaire silencieuse : le sous-diagnostic largement répandu de l’amylose cardiaque à travers le continent. Issue d’une collaboration entre des cardiologues africains de premier plan et soutenue par des organisations telles que CRK Clinical Research Key, notre initiative est née d’une vision commune : garantir des soins équitables pour chaque cœur.

    Des campagnes de sensibilisation à la recherche transfrontalière et à la formation des cliniciens, nous continuons à bâtir un réseau qui renforce les capacités des patients, des professionnels de santé et des décideurs, en apportant à l’Afrique le soutien dont elle a besoin, là où il est le plus nécessaire.

    Notre engagement est de donner à chaque patient les moyens d’agir

    Chez Amyloidosis Africa, nous croyons que chaque vie mérite une chance de se battre, indépendamment de la géographie ou du revenu. Notre action s’étend à travers le continent afin de garantir que l’amylose cardiaque soit reconnue, diagnostiquée et traitée à temps.

     

    Nous construisons des passerelles entre les professionnels de santé, les chercheurs et les communautés, en créant un changement durable grâce à la sensibilisation, la formation et l’accès aux soins.

     

    Personne ne devrait souffrir en silence d’une maladie qui peut être détectée et prise en charge avec les bons outils. Ensemble, nous façonnons l’avenir de la santé cardiaque en Afrique.

    OUR IMPACT

    CONTINENTAL SUPPORT

    1

    Cardiac amyloidosis remains under-recognized. We drive awareness at the national and local level.

    2

    Workshops and CME programs empower African doctors to detect and manage hATTR-CM effectively.

    3

    We support hospital-based research and surveys to map disease burden and care access.

    4

    Continental collaboration helps accelerate trials and produce Africa-led scientific data.

    5

    We equip patients and families with trusted resources for early care-seeking and diagnosis.

    6

    We collaborate with health ministries and societies to shape protocols for diagnosis and treatment.

    Dr. Constantin Nyamuzangura

    For too long, patients across Africa have died undiagnosed. Amyloidosis Africa exists to change that through clinician education and regional collaboration.

    Prof. Yasser Hosny

    We are building a continent-wide network of cardiologists committed to improving care for patients with amyloidosis. This collaboration is long overdue, and absolutely necessary.

    Dr. Mazou Ngou Temgoua

    Recognizing the red flags of amyloidosis early can save lives. We’re empowering frontline healthcare providers with the tools to do just that.

    Prof. Leonard Ngunga

    Cardiac amyloidosis is no longer a rare disease, it’s a rarely diagnosed one. Through Amyloidosis Africa, we are reshaping how Africa detects and manages this hidden epidemic.

    Amyloidosis in Africa is not rare; it is rarely recognized. By raising awareness and strengthening diagnosis, we can change outcomes for thousands of patients who are currently invisible.

    Prof. Ngunga

    Cardiac amyloidosis remains an underappreciated cause of heart failure in Africa. Improving clinical suspicion and access to diagnosis is essential to advancing cardiovascular care on the continent.

    Kenya Cardiac Societ President

    Dr. Nyamuzangura

    In many African countries, amyloidosis is diagnosed too late or not at all. Regional collaboration and education are key to closing this critical gap in cardiac care.

    Burundi Cardiac Society President

    Prof. Yasser Hosny

    Amyloidosis is a global disease with a significant but overlooked presence in Africa. Early recognition and structured diagnostic pathways can dramatically improve patient survival and quality of life.

    Burundi Cardiac Society President

    Dr. Anders Barasa

    Cardiac amyloidosis is an important but often overlooked cause of heart failure in Africa. Strengthening clinician awareness and diagnostic pathways will allow us to identify patients earlier and deliver more effective care.
