The Bone and Joint Decade

The Bone and Joint Decade (2000-2010) was a global initiative aimed at raising awareness and improving the understanding of musculoskeletal disorders, which affect bones and joints. It brought together healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients to promote better prevention, treatment, and care for conditions like arthritis and osteoporosis. The decade encouraged collaboration across countries and disciplines to share knowledge, improve research, and create better health policies, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for millions affected by these disorders. Its legacy continues as efforts persist to improve musculoskeletal health worldwide.
