World Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day is observed every year on February 14.

• A congenital heart defect is a heart condition present at birth, caused by abnormal development of the heart or nearby blood vessels. The exact causes remain unclear, and these defects are considered anomalies rather than diseases.
• The theme for CHD Awareness in 2025 is “Remember Our Hearts.” This day provides a platform to inform people about the prevalence, symptoms, and treatment options for CHDs.
