Across India there is a serious lack of awareness and understanding regarding bone/joint health, the associated conditions and treatment options. This has far reaching consequences for both, the individual and the healthcare system. For example, arthritis particularly osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis affects millions of Indians each year and is the primary reason for joint replacements. Both are easily manageable conditions and, early diagnosis and treatment can slow the progress of the disease enabling a longer working life and reducing the burden on the healthcare systems.

Our capacity building program is designed to bring the necessary medical knowledge, understanding and awareness to the public in order to encourage more responsible lifestyle choices.
