Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day is observed worldwide every February 14. This annual campaign aims to promote awareness of congenital heart defects (CHD), which are structural heart issues present at birth, affecting about 9 of every 1,000 live births. The day was launched by the Children's Heart Society, a Canadian non-profit organization, and has garnered support from other organizations such as HeartKids in Australia and the Dr. Mani Children Heart Foundation in India. Celebrated on Valentine's Day, a day symbolized by hearts, the observance focuses on educating the public about congenital heart anomalies, advocating for increased support and research, and encouraging donations for families affected by CHD. Most patients with CHD require lifelong cardiac care, making this awareness initiative crucial for improving understanding and support for those impacted.
