WORLD HEART’S DAY
World Heart Day is a global awareness day, created to inform people around the globe that heart disease and stroke are the world‟s leading cause of death, claiming 17.9 million lives each year.
Together with its members, the World Heart Federation spreads the news that at least 80 per cent of premature deaths from heart disease and stroke could be avoided if the main risk factors; tobacco, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, are controlled.
