World Heart Day is an important occasion observed globally every year on September 29th through various activities aimed at raising awareness about heart health and encouraging informed, effective action. For the 2024–2026 period, the central theme of World Heart Day has been designated as "Use Heart for Action." During this time, the initiative seeks to encourage individuals and communities to take action for heart health and to support people in caring for their hearts, with the ultimate goal of fostering behavioral change at both individual and societal levels.
The online event, held on September 28, 2026, between 12:30 and 13:30, began with an opening address by the moderator, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hilal Uysal, who explained the significance and importance of World Heart Day. Subsequently, Asst.

At the conclusion of the event, participants expressed their satisfaction at having taken some time for themselves.
