14 Oct 2025: The ISH in collaboration with the Hypertension Core Group of IAPEN India Association of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition organised a special webinar series to mark World Heart Day on 29th September 2025.

The series of four webinars was conducted from 28th to 30th September and ISH involvement was via our South and Central Asia (SACA) Regional Advisory Group (RAG).

Four members of the ISH SACA RAG spoke at a webinar focused on the theme of lifestyle and hypertension - challenges and solutions for low and middle-income countries.

More than 650 registrations were recorded, and over 400 participants actively attended the live sessions across the three days. The sessions were designed to raise awareness and share knowledge on hypertension, cardiovascular health, and nutrition-related interventions, aligning with the global theme of World Heart Day.

To extend the reach of the program, the recordings of all sessions are on YouTube, enabling those who could not join live to benefit from the expert discussions and presentations.

ISH involvement in the seminars was led by SACA member Mansi Patil, who is also part of the Hypertension Core Group of IAPEN India.

Mansi said: “The webinars were highly interactive and well appreciated by the participants for their scientific content, expert speakers, and practical relevance. Overall, the World Heart Day Webinar Series was a resounding success, further strengthening IAPEN India and ISH’s role in promoting awareness, education, and best practices in the fields of nutrition and cardiovascular health.”
