PROM’ES is partner of 'Hart voor de Zaak'. A healthy heart for everyone, now and in the future – that is the aim of the Dutch Heart Foundation. Because everything starts with the heart. At present, nearly 1.8 million people in the Netherlands are living with heart or vascular disease. If no action is taken, this number will rise rapidly and the pressure on the healthcare system will increase. As a Hart voor de Zaak partner, PROM’ES makes a monthly financial contribution to the work of the Dutch Heart Foundation.
The situation is urgent
Cardiovascular disease is already the second leading cause of death in the Netherlands. It is also the main cause of hospital admissions. The Dutch Heart Foundation’s ambition is to achieve a measurable improvement in the nation’s heart health by 2030. These are the four goals for 2030:
- Preventing cardiovascular disease by making the living environment healthier: healthy eating, exercise and a smoke-free Netherlands
- Identifying people at increased risk of cardiovascular disease and encouraging them to live healthily
- Investing in solutions to detect cardiovascular disease earlier and treat patients more quickly and effectively
- Promoting rapid assistance in emergency situations resulting from acute cardiovascular disease
