Cardiac Pacing in Sub-Saharan Africa: JACC International

Highlights •Many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa lack access to the lifesaving technology of cardiac pacing. •Through a multinational program, we demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of a proctorship-based approach to the development of local cardiac pacing capabilities in Sub-Saharan African nations. •Further studies should focus on the long-term outcomes of such programs as well as the issue of making such technologies available and affordable through engagement of all relevant stakeholders.
