The Guyana Program to Advance Cardiac Care
We present the 10-year experience of the Guyana Program to Advance Cardiac Care (GPACC), an academic partnership aiming to provide high-quality, equitable cardiovascular care in Georgetown's only public hospital.  GPACC was able to demonstrate that targeted investment, education of clinicians, and cohesive healthcare delivery strategies can contribute to sustainable service delivery for Guyana's largest burden of disease.  In many LMICs, specialized cardiovascular care is available in the private, but not public, sector.The WHO Framework for Action can guide development of sustainable programs in low-resource settings.GPACC can serve as a successful and innovative model for delivery of sustainable cardiovascular care.
