| Heart disease and stroke is the world’s No.1 killer of women claiming the lives of more women each year than any other disease. Heart disease and stroke claims the lives of 8 times more women than breast cancer. In Singapore, 1 in 3 women dies from heart disease and stroke. |
| However, the 2009 Go Red For Women Survey revealed that only 9% of Singaporean women knew that heart disease and stroke is their number one killer. |
| Go Red For Women (GRFW) is an international movement started by the American Heart Association and later adopted by other World Heart Federation member countries. The Singapore Heart Foundation launched the Go Red For Women campaign in 2005 to bring home heart health messages to women in Singapore. |
| The campaign aims to empower women – who are the gatekeepers to the family’s health – with the right knowledge and tools so that they can take better care of their hearts and their families. |
| Women of all shapes and sizes put on the little red dress for Go Red For Women 2010! |
