As part of efforts to reduce rising cases and deaths due to heart diseases in the country, the Nigerian Heart Foundation has partnered with Nollywood stars to create more awareness on heart diseases and ways to ensure healthy hearts.
The cardiologist said this year’s theme, “Use Heart To Connect” is a call to action to individuals, professionals like actors and actresses, communities and governments, to use “their heart to connect to make informed choices for society, our loved ones and ourselves.” NHF’s major partners for 2021 are Nollywood actors and actresses who have been selected as “Nigerian Heart Foundation Ambassadors”. Ten Nollywood members have been nominated and have been given Nigerian Health Foundation full-membership while three Nollywood members have been nominated as Ambassadors of Nigerian Health Foundation to propagate advocacy and awareness on heart diseases.
He advised the new ambassadors to use their role and influence in the Nollywood industry to spread the messages to the entire public. Oyetayo, the immediate past chairman, Actors Guild of Nigeria, Lagos state chapter, said that the ambassadors would not take the task of creating awareness about heart diseases for granted.
