MUSCAT: World Heart Day is a global campaign during which individuals, families, communities and governments around the world participate in activities to take charge of their heart health and that of others.
Created by the World Heart Federation, World Heart Day is celebrated on September 29 every year across the globe to create a universal awareness about cardiovascular diseases (CVD) including heart ailments and stroke which highlights the actions that individuals can take to prevent and control CVD. It aims to drive action to educate people that by controlling risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, at least 80 per cent of premature deaths from heart disease and stroke could be avoided.
In a drive to create awareness among the citizens of Muscat, Apollo Hospitals in collaboration with Unique Pharmaceuticals Laboratories (Al Hashar Pharmacy LLC) organised an event to mark World Heart Day. The programme consisted of an awareness dissemination by Dr T Partiban, Senior Cardiologist, Apollo Hospital Muscat and other senior officials of Apollo Hospitals including Medical Director, Dr Dilip Singhvi who shared valuable information pertaining to a healthy living which proved to be very informative for the audience.
