Cadila Pharmaceuticals organises ‘Freedom from Pain Walkathons’

Cadila Pharmaceuticals recently organised ‘Freedom from Pain Walkathons’, to increase awareness about osteoarthritis and problems faced by patients suffering from this disease. The walkathons were held across major cities of India, like Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Ambala.

“Osteoarthritis is a disabling disease which affects millions of Indians. At Cadila Pharmaceuticals, we continuously strive to increase awareness about this disease and alleviate the pain of osteoarthritis patients by using research and innovation to provide affordable and quality medicines. At the ‘Freedom from Pain Walkathons’, we invited leading orthopaedic doctors from across the country, along with their patients and patients’ relatives to be a part of this initiative,” said Dr Rajiv Modi, Chairman and Managing Director, Cadila Pharmaceuticals.

“Walking and taking the stairs is necessary to keep our knee joints healthy. Swimming, sit-ups and Suryanamaskar also help to reduce joint pain,” said Mumbai-based orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Ram Prabhu.
