I call on all governments and decision makers to put an action plan in place to defeat the world’s biggest killer.
This petition is for all who care about better health, and having access to diagnosis, care, and prevention of disease.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is killer number one claiming more than 20 million lives every year.
Sign now and urge leaders to take action on CVD with a bold national plan.
Let’s make a productive, global community of healthier hearts that can count on smart investment and responsible policies.
Sign the petition, add your voice to the millions saying YES to a healthier future for everyone.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the world’s number one killer. It kills more people than all forms of cancer and chronic lower respiratory disease combined. Conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels – such as heart attack, stroke and heart failure – claim more than 20.5 million lives each year.
Current efforts to combat cardiovascular disease at a national level are failing almost everywhere in the world.
Yet 80% of premature deaths are preventable. And leaders have known this for decades.
A cardiovascular health plan acts as a strategic tool reducing premature deaths from heart disease and stroke, while also cutting healthcare costs and productivity losses, saving hundreds of billions of dollars annually worldwide.
Sign the petition to send a powerful message to leaders that a heart action plan is necessary to prevent cardiovascular disease and protect communities from the world’s biggest killer.
Promoting a unified effort between government and society effectively reduces the burden of cardiovascular disease.
A million signatures sends a strong message to urge leaders make a bold political declaration at the United Nations High-level Meeting on Non-communicable Diseases in 2025.
Together we can get there!
