The Heart Foundation of Jamaica (HFJ) is observing World Heart Week 2024 from September 23 to 29 with a series of activities designed to raise awareness about preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD).

The week was launched on Monday, September 23, with the annual statue lighting ceremony at the Bob Marley Museum. The famous Kingston landmark was illuminated in red as a symbolic gesture to raise awareness about CVD, which is the leading cause of death globally. The HFJ team, along with representatives from Future Energy Source Company Limited (FESCO) and the Bob Marley Group of Companies, gathered at the museum for the occasion.
