‼️ Our #WorldHeartReport 2026 revealed that over 90% of children in lower- and middle-income countries lack access to timely treatment for congenital heart disease.Even when treatment is available, many families simply cannot afford life-saving surgery. In high-income regions, death rates in poorer areas are up to 8 TIMES higher than wealthier areas.Life-saving heart care should be a RIGHT, not a privilege. Explore the report at the link in our bio and help us advocate for #HeartHealthForAll.

And that’s a wrap on the #WorldHeartSummit 2026 ❤️From advancing universal health coverage and national action plans, to addressing digital health and AI, the Summit focused on turning commitments into action across governments, civil society, and communities. Because people are dying from preventable and treatable cardiovascular conditions every day, and we have the tools, knowledge, and partnerships to change that.Thank you to all our speakers, moderators, and partners @MSD, @Amgen, @novonordisk, @alnylampharma, Chinese Cardiovascular Association, @mussallemchdalliance and @Roche for making the Summit possible.The conversation does not end here! We look forward to continuing the work together.

🔴 LAUNCHING NOW: The #WorldHeartReport 2026 on Congenital Heart Disease.Congenital heart disease is among the most common birth defects. It affects approximately one in every 50 newborns, and at least a third will require critical treatment in their first year of life.Yet, over 90% of children in lower- and middle-income countries live in paediatric heart health “deserts” with no access to timely care for congenital heart disease. Even in high-income regions, death rates in poorer areas are up to eight times higher than wealthier areas.The World Heart Federation calls on governments to guarantee all newborns, young children, adolescents and adults have access to the healthcare services they need, whenever and wherever they need them. Access the report at the link in our bio.Thank you to @mussallemchdalliance for supporting the development of this report.
