Abstract
The preventative health care industry is a growing and expanding industry as the government initiatives mainly focused on preventive healthcare services through cu
ent health care law. To a certain extent, the implementation of the Affordable Care Act encouraged and supported all healthcare providers and non-profit organizations to provide health preventative and screening services to their clients. American Heart Association introduced the Healthy Hearts for Everyone program for improving the health of the people. It is the duty of healthcare providers to implement effective practices and policies for improving the health condition of the people. In this research paper, we are analysing the health promotion activities and programs related to rheumatic heart disease and we are also considering the fiver major strategies identified in the Ottawa charter for health promotion.
It is the duty of the nurse and other healthcare providers to understand the needs of heart patients and provide effective treatment and healthcare services.

Healthcare professionals are also using chest x-rays for checking lungs and heart condition. For curing the diseases, healthcare professionals have to replace damaged valves or surgery also can be called as an effective way of managing the issue. For reducing the effect of strep infections the healthcare professionals also use antibiotics. If the patient is failed to take up medicines and failed to go for on-going check-ups or treatment, it directly influences the health condition of the patient (Engel et al 2016, p.1456)
