Magdi Yacoub Foundation celebrates World Heart Failure Week, which is held annually from April 29 to May 5.

We celebrate the heroes of the heart! 

Every May 17th, we observe World Hypertension Day to raise awareness about this serious condition, which is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. This year's theme is "Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer", emphasizing the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring and control for maintaining heart and vascular health.

Distribution of informative booklets:
Booklets containing valuable information about hypertension, including its symptoms, causes, prevention methods, and treatment, were distributed.
