Cardiovascular
disease accounts for 32% of all deaths worldwide. About 18 million people
worldwide die of heart disease every year. This number is gradually increasing
all over the world including Bangladesh.
With the aim
of reducing this horrific level of heart disease in the world— World Heart Day
is celebrated around the world on September 29 every year. The main goal of this year`s Heart Day is to reduce the
incidence of heart disease by increasing the awareness, prevention and
management of heart disease among people around the world using digital
technology. The Healthy Heart Happy Life Organization (HeLO) and the IPDI
Foundation have planned a month-long program to implement this goal in our
country.
The Healthy Heart Happy Life Organization (HeLO) started its
journey with the slogan `Awareness, Charity and Research for Humanity`. It is a
non-political, non-sectarian and voluntary organization. Its main goal and
objective is to play a role in human development through awareness, research
and provision of necessary services in various aspects of society.
The Interactive Professional Development Initiatives (IPDI)
Foundation, a sister concern of HeLO, is a multi-professional organization
whose main goal is to develop and implement various programs aimed at
professional development in their respective fields.
The HeLO-IPDI Foundation plans to implement a month-long program
on the occasion of World Heart Day on September 29. The program includes-
1. Free health awareness and health check-ups at four parks in
Dhaka (blood pressure measurement, diabetes test, weight and height measurement,

2. Providing health messages in five traffic signals in Dhaka to
increase health awareness.
3. Television Program
