India’s First “Knee Care on Wheels” Initiative

ONUS Hospitals proudly inaugurated “ONUS Hospitals on Wheels” on 26th November 2019 (Tuesday) at 11:00 AM, marking a historic milestone in community-based orthopedic healthcare delivery in India.

This pioneering initiative introduced India’s first mobile Knee Care Unit, equipped with:

Fighting the Growing Epidemic of Knee Arthritis

Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the leading causes of disability in adults. Studies indicate:

• Over 1 in 4 adults suffer from knee arthritis

• Higher prevalence in villages (31.1%) and metro cities (33.1%)

• Increasing burden due to aging population and lifestyle factors

Recognizing this urgent healthcare need, ONUS Hospitals launched a community-level awareness and prevention program through its Mobile Orthopedic Health Unit.

Bringing Advanced Orthopedic Care Closer to Home

As India advances toward Universal Health Coverage, it is essential to reach populations that face barriers such as:

• Geographic limitations

• Limited transportation access

• Climatic challenges

• Financial constraints

Mobile Orthopedic Healthcare Services serve as a practical solution to deliver quality care directly to underserved communities.

As part of our Community Outreach Program, the mobile unit offers:

✔ Free Orthopedic Consultation
✔ Free Knee Joint X-Ray
✔ Free Blood Sugar Checkup
✔ Free Blood Pressure Checkup

The mission is not just treatment—but early detection, prevention, and long-term joint preservation.
