About the International Day for Interventional Cardiology
Ends: Sep 16, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
The United Nations General Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes achieving universal health coverage by 2030. It recalled its resolutions focusing on health as a precondition and indicator of sustainable development and the right of everyone to attain the highest standard of physical and mental health.
The Assembly acknowledged that non-communicable diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and chronic lung disease, account for nearly 70% of all deaths worldwide. There's growing concern over the social and economic consequences of these diseases and the increasing need to respond to them.
Recognizing that interventional cardiology enhances health, prolongs life, and improves quality of life, the Assembly affirmed the World Health Organization's leadership role in fighting non-communicable diseases. It welcomed the progress made by the United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases and reaffirmed the political will to implement commitments to prevent and control such diseases effectively.
Considering the importance of robust and resilient health systems, and given the historical milestone when the first coronary angioplasty was performed by Dr. Andreas Grüntzig on September 16, 1977, the Assembly decided to proclaim September 16 as the International Day for Interventional Cardiology.
The Assembly invites all Member States, organizations, and stakeholders to observe this day annually, aiming to raise public awareness about cardiovascular diseases, their complications, prevention, and care. The World Health Organization is invited to facilitate the implementation of this International Day.
