The feasibility and effectiveness of a programme for the community control of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease were studied in a cooperative multicentre project initiated and coordinated by the World Health Organization. The programme was carried out in seven centres in various developing countries of Africa, America, and Asia according to a common protocol, and is under way in a further eight countries in Latin America. Pilot community programmes were shown to be practicable and effective in reducing the burden of rheumatic heart disease in developing countries and their extension to cover entire populations should be encouraged.
在世界卫生组织发起并协调的一项合作多中心项目中，对一项风湿热和风湿性心脏病社区控制计划的可行性和有效性进行了研究。该计划按照共同方案在非洲、美洲和亚洲的不同发展中国家的七个中心开展，并且正在拉丁美洲的另外八个国家实施。试点社区计划已证明在减轻发展中国家风湿性心脏病负担方面切实可行且有效，应鼓励将其推广至覆盖全体人群。
