Over 60,000 patients with bone and joint problems have been treated in the Out-patient Department (OPD) of Victoria Hospital in Bengaluru after non-Covid services resumed following the second wave of the pandemic.
Victoria Hospital, affiliated to Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI), was the first designated hospital in Karnataka for the treatment of COVID patients.
To spread awareness about bone and joint disorders, the Indian Orthopaedic Association has been observing the first week of August as the ‘Bone and Joint’ week since 2012. The theme for this year is ‘Each one Train one Save one’.
