Every year on April 7th, the world unites to celebrate World Health Day, an initiative led by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness around pressing health issues. The theme for 2025 is “My Health, My Right”, underscoring the universal right to access quality healthcare, regardless of where you live or what you earn.
As a Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeon, I see firsthand how vital a healthy heart is for a fulfilling life. At Hridaya Navjeevanalaya, we believe that preventive care, early diagnosis, and timely intervention can save lives and improve outcomes for patients with heart disease.
❤️ Why Focus on Heart Health?
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to be the leading cause of death globally. Sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, stress, and lack of awareness contribute to the growing burden of heart disease, even among younger populations.
World Health Day serves as a powerful reminder to:
- Get regular checkups – especially if you have risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, or a family history of heart disease.
- Choose a heart-friendly lifestyle – prioritize physical activity, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep.
- Recognize warning signs early – chest pain, breathlessness, dizziness, and palpitations should never be ignored.
- Seek timely medical advice – delays can be life-threatening when it comes to cardiac conditions.
