World Heart Day Campaign

Could YouSave a Heart?

A heart can stop without warning. Knowing what to do in those critical moments can make a difference.

Shifah Medical Training College is using World Heart Day to promote awareness, emergency preparedness and the importance of practical healthcare skills.

World Heart Day: Could You Save a Heart? campaign

The Question

If someone collapsed in front of you, would you know what to do?

Emergencies do not always happen inside hospitals. They can happen at home, at work, in school, on the road or in public spaces. The first few moments can be critical.

This campaign encourages communities to become more aware of heart health and more prepared to respond appropriately during emergencies.

Start Here

Know. Respond. Act.

Small amounts of knowledge can help people respond more appropriately while professional emergency help is sought.

❤️

Know Your Heart

Learn why cardiovascular health matters and why recognizing warning signs should never be ignored.

🚑

Understanding basic emergency response can help you remain calm and take appropriate action while help is on the way.

🫀

Question 1 of 520%
