In a remarkable public health initiative, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd has set a national record for the ‘Maximum Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) Recommended Arthritis Patients to be Active.’ A total of 6,561 HCPs across India participated in the campaign to encourage arthritis patients to stay physically active.
Recognizing that arthritis often leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories launched this initiative to emphasize the benefits of regular movement. By recommending tailored physical activities, healthcare professionals aimed to help patients strengthen muscles around affected joints, reduce pain, and improve flexibility.
The initiative marks a significant step toward preventive care and lifestyle management of chronic conditions like arthritis. It was officially confirmed as a record on August 20, 2024, and is being hailed as a model for large-scale health awareness campaigns.
“This campaign reinforces our commitment to not just treating diseases but empowering patients with tools to live healthier, more active lives,” said a spokesperson from Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories.
The record-setting effort has set a benchmark in proactive patient engagement and health education, potentially transforming arthritis care in India.
