Each year, cardiovascular disease (CVD) claims
over 20.5 million lives.
Up to 80% of premature CVD deaths are preventable through affordable access to care, early screening, and more opportunities to make healthy choices in nutrition and stay active.
That’s why on World Heart Day, we unite across six continents to raise awareness, inspire action, and celebrate heart health.
Our global petition to prioritise heart health
