Osteoarthritis (OA) is the clinical outcome of structural and functional failure of synovial joints. Traditionally, it has been considered a disease of articular cartilage.
OA is the fastest growing cause of disability with a significant population unable to do their routine activities. Over 18% of women and 9.6% of men aged over 60 years have symptomatic OA globally.
Hence, it was need of the hour to bring to notice about this condition.
Therefore, for the 1st time in India, Pfizer has come up with an innovative solution to launch a website wherein they can spread awareness about care in osteoarthritis management. The said website will contain all the information related to Osteoarthritis and how dangerous the disease is. This information will be communicated to the patients by the HCPs through short informative videos.
