The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) Department of Safdarjung Hospital successfully conducted a Bone Density Camp as a part of the ongoing Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar (SNSP)Abhiyaan.The camp aimed to raise awareness about osteoporosis, early detection of bone health issues, and empower women and at-risk populations with preventive health strategies.

The event saw large participation, including women and elderly citizens, aligning with SNSP’s goal to promote family health by focusing on mothers and caregivers. Free bone density screenings were provided, along with expert consultations and education on nutrition, physical activity, and osteoporosis prevention.Patients were also given calcium & Vit d medicines.

Alongside the screening, an awareness session was conducted on posture care, balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes to prevent osteoporosis and maintain healthy bones.

Dr. Sandeep Bansal, Director, VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital, commended the efforts:

"Our hospital is dedicated to preventive healthcare and community outreach. Organizing specialist camps like this not only ensures better health outcomes through early detection but also empowers our community with awareness and education. The PMR Department’s leadership in this initiative is commendable and reflects the hospital’s commitment to holistic patient care."

Dr. Ajay Gupta, HOD, PMR Department, added:

"Bone health is a crucial but often neglected part of overall wellbeing, especially for women and older adults.
