World Heart Day

World Heart Day

World Heart Day is celebrated on 29 September every year. Heart diseases are a serious issue, and according to a report by the World Health Organisation, over 17.9 million people around the world die from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) every year.

"World Heart Day" was founded in 2000 to inform people around the globe that heart disease and stroke are the world’s leading causes of death

The World Heart Federation created this global campaign in the hopes of uniting people all around the world to encourage heart-healthy living across the globe.

The World Heart Federation (WHF) is a nongovernmental organization based in Geneva, Switzerland in 1971
