Heart Failure Awareness Days 2024

This year, HFA Awareness Days will take place from 29 April to 5 May 2024.

The theme is "Detect the undetected: FIND ME"*, focusing on individuals who remain undiagnosed and emphasising the significance of early intervention, which can have a profound impact on improving lives and outcomes. The objective of the 25in25 initiative is to decrease mortality rates attributed to heart failure within the initial year of diagnosis by 25% over the course of the next 25 years.
