Go Red for Women


Take action !
Enjoy your heart health

Heart disease and stroke kills more women each year than cancer, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and malaria combined.

Worldwide, an average of more than 16 women per minute die of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke.

The Go Red for Women international campaign aims to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women by building global attention and commitment to CVD in women.

Women can take action now to reduce the number of deaths and disability from heart disease and stroke.
