IOA theme : Knowledge is Power; Skill is our Strength
COIMBATORE: Moving forwards, August 4 will be observed as National Bone and Joint Day. The Union Ministry of Health has decided to observe such a day to focus on treatment related issues concerning bones
and joints following a request from the Indian Orthopaedic Association
(IOA), which stressed the need to create awareness among people on the
growing problems related to bones and joints.
Speaking to TOI, S Rajasekaran, president of IOA, said that with the ageing population and increasing accidents, the health problems related to bones and joints have also amplified. On the request of the association, the government has agreed to declare August 4 as National Bone and Joint Day, he said. The IOA charter was signed on the same day in 1971.
