Why It Matters
World Heart Day serves as a reminder that 80% of premature heart disease and strokes are preventable through healthy lifestyle choices. IJN’s initiative at The Curve underscores its commitment to not only treating but also educating and empowering Malaysians to take charge of their heart health.
