In observance of World Heart Day, healthcare organizations and private entities in Nigeria and India launched various initiatives to promote cardiovascular health awareness and preventive care.

In Nigeria, the Nigerian Heart Foundation emphasized the importance of healthy lifestyles to combat heart disease, which Dr. Kingsley Akinroye described as a “silent killer” due to symptoms often being ignored. Complementary efforts included public health checks in Lagos provided by Jumia Nigeria and St. Emmanuel Hospital.

In India, initiatives included the ‘HORN DONT MAADI’ campaign in Bengaluru to reduce urban stress, mobile screening services, and a cyclothon. In Greater Noida, medical experts held discussions under the theme ‘Don’t Miss a Beat’ to educate the public on identifying early warning signs of heart disease and the importance of timely medical intervention.
