He further noted that the theme ‘Don’t Miss a Beat’ reflects the broader impact of heart health on loved ones and the community at large.
He further shared the hospital’s ongoing initiatives, including the recent launch of the Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Awareness Campaign, which aims to educate the public on recognising early warning signs of heart attacks and the importance of seeking prompt medical care. “By bringing awareness and encouraging timely action, we hope to save more lives and reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Brunei,” Dr. Tay stated, reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to preventive healthcare and community well-being.

Beyond the excitement of the races, the World Heart Day Brunei Run 2025 serves a greater purpose: raising awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy heart. The event encourages participants and the wider community to adopt active lifestyles, balanced diets, and regular health check-ups, as well as to stay alert to early warning signs of cardiovascular disease.
This year’s World Heart Day theme, “Don’t Miss a Beat,” emphasises the importance of individual responsibility, collective community efforts, and timely preventive action to maintain cardiovascular health. Gleneagles JPMC continues to champion these initiatives, encouraging the public to adopt heart-healthy habits, recognise early warning signs, and seek timely medical care when needed.
