Inner Wheel District 322 – Sri Lanka & Maldives, successfully organised an Osteoporosis Awareness Programme, on Saturday 24th October, bringing together distinguished medical professionals and participants for an engaging and informative morning dedicated to bone and joint health. The programme commenced with the traditional lighting of the oil lamp, symbolising the beginning of this meaningful initiative, followed by the welcome address delivered by District Chairman Noeline Ranaweera. The first session was conducted by Dr Niroshini Yahampath, Consultant Endocrinologist at Lanka Hospitals, who shared her valuable knowledge on Osteoporosis , raising awareness about bone health, prevention, and management. The second session was led by Retired Brigadier Dr Primal Peiris, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Lanka Hospitals, who enlightened the audience on Osteoarthritis , it’s impact on joint health, and the importance of maintaining mobility and quality of life. Both sessions were highly engaging and informative, with valuable insights shared by the speakers and an opportunity for participants to interact and clarify their questions.
