The word arthritis actually implies aggravation of a joint. The most widely recognized sort, osteoarthritis, includes degeneration of the specific ligament ensuring the bone finishes inside a joint. Without ligament insurance, ligaments and tendons need to work more enthusiastically, and extreme loss of ligament can prompt bone scouring on the bone, causing grating and inevitable growing and aggravation.
Joint pain can likewise pop up when parts of a joint are wrongly distinguished as a ‘remote’ danger and are assaulted by resistant procedures – which is the situation with rheumatoid joint inflammation. While unquestionably progressively basic in more seasoned age gatherings, anyone, even youngsters, can get arthritis.
The cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis is not known exactly. Even though infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi have been suspected as cause but not proved authentically. It is believed that the tendency to develop the disease may be genetically inherited. It is also suspected that certain infections or factors in the environment trigger the activation of immune system in susceptible individuals. This misdirected immune system then attacks the body’s own tissues and causes the disease.
Arthritis brings so much pain that this is something that only the people suffering from this painful disease realize. Arthritis causes stiffness, swelling and pain in or around joints and is a recurring disorder which affects around 14 million people in Pakistan. Out of the affected people, 50% are above 71 years.
However, the number of patients who require free treatment is rising day by day and the resources of Fatima Memorial Hospital are limited. This has made it very hard to cater to the patient population which is ratcheting up. Therefore, we request our altruistic donors to support us in our cause of making Pakistan free from Arthritis!
Free diagnostics, medication and even surgery (joint replacement) were provided to Arthritis patients free of cost or on subsidized rates using the funds donated by our auspicious donors. Therefore, we request our esteemed donors to help us in this cause and ease the suffering of thousands of patients suffering from this painful and deadly (in extreme cases) disease.
With COVID19 pandemic increasing in huge numbers, all our resources are being diverted in attending those patients. During these challenging times, we need more support from our donors so that these arthritis patients can also receive medical assistance.
We look forward to your ever increased support.
Thank you!
