Heart Failure Awareness Days

Heart Failure Awareness Days (HFAD) are held every year in May. Join your National Heart Failure Society and Working Groups in organising events to raise awareness about the importance of recognising heart failure symptoms early, getting an accurate diagnosis and receiving optimal treatment.

Since 2010, Heart Failure Awareness Days has been one of the most significant events on the HFA calendar. This is an opportunity to bring the realities of heart failure to the forefront of public awareness in order to be catalysts for change. Over the past few years, efforts have expanded through various activities such as TV and radio debates, leveraging social media platforms, publishing articles in national newspapers, setting up stands in city squares, organising children's art exhibitions, facilitating outdoor activities involving patients, hosting open house events at clinics, and many more.
