Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in Bangladesh, claiming the lives of more than 205,000 people every year, that’s an average of 562 deaths each day (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation – IHME, 2021). World Health Organization (WHO) estimates put the toll even higher, at 777 daily deaths from heart and vascular conditions.

Behind these numbers are families, communities, and futures at risk. The good news? Up to 80% of heart disease is preventable through healthier lifestyles, early screening, and stronger health systems.

At ARK Foundation, we work to strengthen primary health care and address non-communicable diseases like hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions ensuring that prevention and timely treatment reach those who need it most.

 On this World Heart Day, let’s take action together:
 Eat healthy
 Stay active
 Quit tobacco
 Get regular check-ups

Let’s protect every heartbeat — today and every day.
