World Heart Day is celebrated every year on September 29th. This global campaign was created by the World Heart Federation to raise awareness about heart disease and stroke, as well as to promote heart-healthy lifestyles and behaviors. On World Heart Day, various organizations, healthcare professionals, and individuals around the world participate in activities and events to emphasize the importance of heart health and to encourage people to make positive changes in their lives to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. These activities often include health screenings, educational programs, and advocacy efforts to combat heart disease, which remains a leading cause of death worldwide.
