Rehema, who is now a mother of two, was diagnosed with a chronic heart disease at a tender age of two weeks and has undergone several open heart surgeries since then. It has been a journey of resilience and hope as l personally knows the struggles from mental, emotional, physical and financial standpoint that comes with such diagnosis.

I would like my health success to inspire many patients with heart diseases to know that being diagnosed with a heart condition is not necessary a death sentence but its treatable. I put priority on my health, taking charge of risk factors that l can control. It is also important to engage doctors on all health issues so that they can better work with the patients to optimize the process of treatment and healing.
