World Arthritis Day 2021

12 October

World Arthritis Day was established in 1996 by Arthritis and Rheumatism International (ARI) and is celebrated each year on 12 October.

People with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) from around the world can join together to make their voices heard on this day.

Although 12 October is the official World Arthritis Day, this is a year round campaign.

The aims of World Arthritis Day are to:

  • raise awareness of RMDs amongst the medical community, people with RMDs and the general public
  • influence public policy by making decision-makers aware of the burden of RMDs and the steps which can be taken to ease it
  • ensure all people with RMDs and their caregivers are aware of the vast support network available to them.

  1. 오프라인 카지노는 호텔 등 다양한 부대 시설을 함께 운용하기 때문에, 직원 인건비와 관리 비용 등의 막대한 운영비가 소요되어 어쩔 수 없는 일입니다.

  2. This article on World Arthritis Day is eye-opening! It’s great that it aims to raise awareness year-round. I had no idea it was established in 1996. Do you think more could be done to get the message across to younger generations? Maybe some fun social media challenges?
