The Department of Orthopaedic Physiotherapy at KLE College of Physiotherapy, Hubballi, held an Arthritis Awareness and Screening Camp on October 12, 2026, at KLE MRC Hospital in Gabbur. The camp marked World Arthritis Day and ran in association with the Departments of Orthopaedics and Medicine.
More than 100 people took part in the screening and guidance sessions. The programme included an awareness talk by rheumatologist Dr. Mahendra Pauskar, a session on physiotherapy-led arthritis management by Dr. Sweta Kulkarni, exercise demonstrations, and on-site screening with physiotherapy advice.
