This World Heart Day,we are telling the world:
Don’t
miss
a beat
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.
That’s why, every 29 September, we celebrate World Heart Day to raise awareness of CVD and the importance of taking care of your heart. From individuals, families and schools to community groups and governments, we work together to make equitable heart health a priority and drive change across the globe.
2025 marks the 25th anniversary of World Heart Day, and our mission remains as crucial as ever.
This World Heart Day, our mission is to make every heartbeat count.
We want better heart health and improved access to life-saving care worldwide.
Right now, people around the world are missing out on time with loved ones, the chance to protect their own health, and the opportunities afforded by more sustainable local health systems. Too often, this is due to the early and preventable loss caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD) — the world’s biggest killer.
Ahead of the UN High-Level meeting this September, we’re accelerating efforts to improve access to treatment for high blood pressure and reduce heart health inequities through better funding for CVD care. So no one misses a beat.
