World Heart Day is celebrated every year on 29th September. On average, 17 million people die from heart-related illness every year. The aim of this day to draw attention to heart illness and several health associated issues. It is also to promote a change in lifestyle and preventative steps to avoid heart attack and other heart-related illness.
The history of World Heart day goes all the way back to 2000 launched by the World Heart Federation as an annual event to take place every year. Both government and non-governmental organisations celebrate this day from all across the globe. Different activities are organised such as marathons, exhibitions and fitness sessions. For Pakistan this year the NICVD hospital was lit with red lights for World Health Day.
This day is a reminder to all the people who are not taking care of their diet and lifestyle before its too late!
