Heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally, affecting millions of lives each year. Guyana leads the Caribbean in cardiovascular disease, with ischemic heart diseases being the leading cause of death, according to Global Heart, the official journal of World Heart Foundation.
HEALTHY HEARTS, HEALTHY NATION
The SOCA Heart Project is a national engagement, awareness, and fundraising campaign dedicated to fighting heart disease and promoting active living across Guyana.
Your participation helps to fund Heart Health Research
Led by STRIDE592, the project features weekly walk-run training sessions, free health screenings and public education initiatives-all designed to get Guyana moving.
From July through September 2025, we are working in partnership with the Ministry of Health, Woodlands Hospital Limited, and Cardiology Department at Georgetown Public Hospital to promote prevention, support cardiovascular health and inspire long-term lifestyle change. Our goal is simple: Move with purpose. Live with power. Lead with heart.
