By Adnews Staff
The Montreal-based Canadian Orthopaedic Association conducted a promotion on March 30 called "Canadian Orthopaedic Care Day.” According to the association, this is the first time a day has been dedicated to orthopaedic care in Canada. The online event was conducted in collaboration with AdvoOrtho. Its intent was to raise awareness of the work done by orthopaedic care workers.
“It's a day dedicated to the orthopaedic care team, including surgeons, nurses, physical therapists, anesthesiologists, technologists, researchers, administrative professionals, caregivers and, of course, patients and their families who are feeling the effects of waiting in pain across Canada,” said association president Kishore Mulpuri. “These dedicated individuals are doing the best they can, especially given the challenging period of COVID-19 with ever-growing wait times across the country. We hope Canadians will join us for this important day dedicated to sharing messages of support and raising awareness surrounding Orthopaedic care in Canada, both provincially and federally.”
