World Heart Day 29 sep 2015 & Nonviolence Week Celebration - Competitions

 

World Heart Day, which used to take place every year on the last Sunday in September, is organized by the World Heart Federation, and has been celebrated annually since 2000. As of 2011, World Heart Day is celebrated every 29 September and no longer on the last Sunday of September. Together with its members, the World Heart Federation spreads the news that at least 80% of premature deaths from heart disease and stroke could be avoided if the main risk factors, tobacco, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, are controlled. Collaborators of the World Heart Federation include several major international non-profits such as the Indian Heart Association. National activities such as public talks and screenings, walks and runs, concerts or sporting events are organized worldwide by members and partners of the World Heart Federation. It is a chance for people across the globe to take part in the world’s biggest intervention against cardiovascular disease (CVD). This year’s theme for WHD is Creating healthy, heart choices for everyone everywhere.
