Protecting the Most Vulnerable in Times of Crisis
At Neftaly, we recognize that disaster preparedness is not just about logistics and emergency supplies—it’s also about protecting lives, especially those most vulnerable to health complications. Among these groups, cardiac patients face heightened risks during natural disasters, power outages, and emergencies.
Our commitment to health resilience includes equipping communities, healthcare providers, and individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to ensure that people living with heart conditions are protected before, during, and after a disaster.
Why Disaster Preparedness Matters for Cardiac Patients
Cardiac patients often rely on:
- Lifelong medications
- Specialized medical equipment
- Routine monitoring
- Access to emergency care
During disasters—such as floods, fires, storms, or civil unrest—these essentials may be disrupted. Stress, physical strain, limited mobility, and lack of access to healthcare can significantly increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other complications.
Neftaly’s Approach to Cardiac-Centric Disaster Preparedness
- Community Education & Training
- We deliver awareness programs on managing chronic heart conditions during emergencies.
- Families and caregivers are taught how to create emergency action plans for cardiac patients.
- Emergency Health Kits for Cardiac Care
- Guidelines on assembling heart health kits that include essential medications, blood pressure monitors, medical records, and dietary supplies.
- Telehealth & Mobile Support
- We support initiatives for remote consultation services in disaster-prone regions to ensure continuity of care.
- First Responder Sensitization
- We provide training for disaster relief teams on how to identify and assist cardiac patients during rescue and triage operations.
- Policy Advocacy & Partnerships
- Neftaly collaborates with healthcare institutions and governments to ensure cardiac patients are considered in national disaster preparedness plans.
Core Preparedness Tips for Cardiac Patients
- Keep a 7–14 day supply of heart medications.
- Store an updated list of prescriptions and emergency contacts.
- Carry a cardiac health ID or medical alert.
- Monitor stress levels and blood pressure regularly.
- Plan evacuation routes and identify nearby hospitals or clinics.

Building Resilience Together
Disaster preparedness is a shared responsibility. At Neftaly, we are working to build inclusive emergency strategies that safeguard those with pre-existing conditions, ensuring that no one is left behind during a crisis.
Together, we can reduce avoidable loss and improve health outcomes for cardiac patients—before disaster strikes.
