Festive gatherings and the Ramadan season bring moments of togetherness, reflection, and shared meals. As we break fast and celebrate, practising moderation helps protect your heart.

Breaking fast with excessive sugary drinks, fried foods, or large portions can cause sudden spikes in blood sugar and place added strain on the heart. Choosing balanced meals, starting with lighter foods, staying hydrated, and eating mindfully can support healthier blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and overall heart function.

Aligned with SDG 3, IJN Foundation shares simple heart-healthy tips through our preventive programmes, helping people make better choices and care for their hearts every day.

By eating in moderation during Ramadan and the festive season, we care for our hearts while honouring the spirit of the month.

After years of building for others as a construction worker, Baharudin now faces a journey of healing for himself. A retired husband and father of four, his life has not been without health challenges, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes with diabetic nephropathy, and dyslipidaemia.

When he was diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, a condition where the heart struggles to pump blood effectively, timely treatment became critical. He was admitted to IJN and successfully underwent a coronary angiogram and angioplasty.

Today, he has been discharged in a stable condition, carrying not just a stronger heart, but renewed hope for him and his family.

At IJN Foundation, we believe every heart deserves a fair chance to heal, regardless of financial circumstances. By reducing inequalities, we help underprivileged patients access the care they need when it matters most.

Join us in creating hope, one heartbeat at a time.

Salam Ramadhan Mubarak from all of us at the IJN Foundation (IJNF).

Wishing all Muslims a blessed month of fulfilling their fasting, filled with reflection, patience, and gratitude. It is a time to quiet the heart, strengthen faith, and turn our intentions toward what truly matters.

In this sacred month, your generosity can make a real difference for underprivileged heart patients and their families. And because Ramadan is a time of fasting and reflection, we are also continuing a special initiative to provide Suhoor and Iftar meal packs to caregivers who stay by the bedside of their loved ones, easing a small part of their daily burden during this holy month.

Your support gives another lease of life, a humble meal, and a better quality of care. One less worry. More time where it matters most.

If you would like to contribute to our Shared Blessings Ramadan Initiatives, please feel free to inquire further with us.

Ramadan is a season of compassion, shared in the quiet moments. 🌙

At IJN Foundation, we are honored to continue a tradition close to our hearts. For many years, we have been humbled by the generous support of donors toward the IJNF Patient Assistance Programme (PAP). While the PAP primarily assists with the treatment and surgery costs of underprivileged heart patients, it also ensures the welfare of their families. Because of your kindness, we are able to provide Suhoor & Iftar meal packs to caregivers who remain faithfully by the bedsides of heart patients in IJN wards.

It is a simple act rooted in empathy — a reminder that they are seen, supported, and not alone during this holy month.

Behind every heart patient is a loved one who gives endlessly. Mothers, fathers, and caregivers stay through long days and nights, offering the strength needed for recovery. As they provide emotional and physical support, we hope this small gesture brings them a moment of relief, warmth, and reassurance.

Be part of this journey of kindness. This Ramadan, we invite you to join us in continuing to support the IJNF PAP and sustaining this initiative. Together, we can ease at least one burden. A humble meal. One less worry. More time where it matters most.

We invite corporates and individuals to partner with us in our Shared Blessings in Ramadan effort. Meaningful impact is always stronger when done together. In the spirit of SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, let us support those who give their strength so selflessly.

Alijah and her husband, 62, earned a modest living as street hawkers, bringing in just enough each day to support their family. Everything changed when Alijah, previously healthy, was diagnosed with Complete Heart Block after experiencing persistent dizziness, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite. Unable to open her stall, the family’s only source of income was disrupted.

A mother of four, with her youngest still a student, Alijah’s condition worsened, and she underwent a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation to regulate her heart rhythm. She has since been discharged in stable condition and is on the road to recovery.

Through the IJN Foundation Patient Assistance Programme, Alijah was able to receive the treatment she needed. Made possible by generous donors, this programme continues to support underprivileged heart patients facing similar challenges.

Together, we can help more families in need. Partner with us today and be part of a community that helps our very own.

Zakuan runs a humble convenience store with his wife, earning a modest and unpredictable income. Together, they are blessed with seven children, with their youngest child still in school. As a close-knit family, their world was shaken when Zakuan was diagnosed with a hole in the heart two years ago. The shock deepened when doctors later discovered a leaky heart valve, forcing his heart to work far harder than it should.

Facing two serious heart conditions at once, the family was overwhelmed with worry and uncertainty. The fear of what lay ahead weighed heavily on them all.

Through the IJN Foundation’s Patient Assistance Programme, Zakuan was able to undergo both necessary heart procedures successfully. Today, he is in a stable condition. With the unwavering support of his family, he found the strength to persevere and continue standing strong for the people who depend on him.

Everyone needs a helping hand. What may seem like a small act of kindness can mean everything to a family in need. Little by little, together, we can help more families like Zakuan’s, creating ripples of hope and lasting change.

Siti Maheeran is a single mother who works as a freelancer, balancing every role life has placed on her shoulders. She provides for her three school-going children and is also the primary caregiver for her 61-year-old mother. For Siti, every day is about showing up for the people who depend on her.

When she first experienced severe chest pains, doctors discovered a dangerously narrowed heart artery, placing her at high risk of a heart attack if left untreated. Knowing how much her family relied on her, Siti made the brave decision to prioritise her health. She underwent thorough cardiac assessments to determine the safest and most suitable treatment options for her condition.

Today, Siti is in a stable condition and has made meaningful lifestyle changes to protect her heart, not just for herself, but for the family she loves and cares for.

Without the support of IJN Foundation’s generous donors, Siti would not have been able to access the critical heart procedures she needed. Your contribution helps heart patients receive timely treatment and gives sole breadwinners the strength, hope, and chance to carry on for their families.

Donate today. Together, we keep hearts beating and families whole.

Berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries are rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids and anthocyanins, which help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. These compounds play an important role in protecting blood vessels, regulating cholesterol levels, and maintaining healthy blood pressure.

Studies have shown that regular consumption of berries is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, as they help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol while supporting overall vascular health. Their high fibre content also aids in blood sugar control and weight management, both key factors in reducing cardiovascular risk.

In line with SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being, IJN Foundation promotes heart health awareness through our Preventive Healthcare Programmes, which focus on educating communities about healthy lifestyle choices and managing heart disease risk factors through informed, everyday decisions.

Taking care of your heart starts with small, sustainable habits that support long-term health for you and your family.

Thalim is a farmer with no fixed income, doing his best to provide for his family. His wife cares for their five children, two of whom are still in school, while he shoulders the uncertainty of each day’s harvest and earnings.

Diagnosed with multiple life-threatening heart conditions, Thalim’s world was turned upside down. He was treated at Institut Jantung Negara (IJN), where he underwent Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation to correct a dangerously fast heart rhythm. The procedure was vital, not just to save his life, but to give his family the reassurance of having their pillar of strength still standing.

Through the spirit of SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, it is only because of the generosity, trust, and commitment of our donors and partners that we can come together to support underprivileged heart patients like Thalim. Your kindness transforms uncertainty into hope, ensuring that no family faces life-saving treatment alone.

Together, we continue to strengthen hearts, uplift families, and stand united in support of those who need us most.
