International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, observed on 26 June, reminds us that drug abuse is not only an individual concern but a serious public health and social issue. Its impact extends beyond physical health, affecting mental well-being, families, education, careers, relationships and communities.
For CORAS Hospital, healthcare responsibility goes beyond treating illness. It also includes creating awareness, encouraging prevention and supporting a society where people feel informed and empowered to make healthier choices. Addressing drug abuse requires sustained awareness, early intervention and access to appropriate professional support for individuals struggling with addiction. The message is particularly relevant for young people, families and communities. Prevention begins with awareness, open conversations and recognising the importance of seeking help without fear or stigma. At the same time, those affected by substance dependence need understanding, professional guidance and a supportive environment to begin their journey towards recovery.
On this International Day Against Drug Abuse, CORAS Hospital stands with the larger public health effort to raise awareness, support recovery, promote healthy choices and build a drug-free future. A healthier society is built through collective responsibility. Every informed conversation, every timely intervention and every step towards seeking help can make a meaningful difference. Choose life. Choose health. Say no to drugs.

The academic programme included expert faculty and live discussions, updates on the latest advances in knee surgery, sports injury and arthroscopy updates, case-based learning sessions, networking with orthopaedic professionals and interactive academic exchange.

The course was organised by CORAS Hospital in association with the North East Regional Orthopaedic Surgeons Association (NEROSA) and Guwahati Orthopaedic Society (GOS).

Modern work life often means long hours at a desk, extended screen time and limited physical activity. While these habits may seem harmless, they can gradually contribute to neck pain, back pain, poor posture and joint problems. Young professionals can protect their musculoskeletal health by following a few simple daily habits.

1.Maintain Good Posture

Poor sitting posture can put unnecessary stress on the neck, shoulders and spine. Keep your back supported, feet flat on the floor and computer screen at eye level. An ergonomic workstation can help reduce strain during long working hours.

2.Take Regular Movement Breaks

Sitting continuously for several hours can contribute to stiffness and muscle discomfort. Stand up, walk around or stretch for a few minutes every hour. Regular movement helps keep your muscles and joints active.

3.Exercise Regularly

Physical activity is essential for maintaining strong muscles, flexible joints and healthy bones. Include a combination of walking, strength training, stretching or other suitable exercises in your weekly routine.

4.Lift Objects Correctly

Improper lifting can place significant stress on the lower back. When lifting something heavy, bend your knees, keep the object close to your body and avoid sudden twisting movements.

5.Support Your Bone Health

A balanced diet containing adequate protein, calcium and Vitamin D supports healthy bones and muscles. Staying active and maintaining a healthy body weight can further support long-term orthopaedic health.
Don’t Ignore Persistent Pain

Occasional discomfort may improve with rest, but persistent or recurring neck, back, knee or joint pain should not be ignored. Early evaluation can help identify the underlying problem and guide appropriate treatment.
CORAS Hospital, Guwahati, provides comprehensive orthopaedic care with a focus on accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment and long-term patient wellbeing.
Take care of your bones and joints today for a healthier, more active tomorrow.
